Referral programs are one of the most powerful and valuable forms of marketing with significant benefits that come with relatively little financial investment. With customer acquisition costs rising, using strategies like referral and word of mouth create a sustainable marketing channel that works for new and old startups.

Dropbox, PayPal, and Uber are all really good examples of companies that launched referral programs that helped them grow exponentially when they were starting out.
