“Referral marketing has been a game-changer in our event marketing strategy over the last 2 years. Not only has it helped us to increase our delegate numbers, but we have also seen a significant increase in event awareness.
We have found that most referrals occur through personal channels such as email and WhatsApp. This ‘behind-the-scenes’ sharing was previously invisible to us, and Snöball’s analytics have been instrumental in revealing these patterns. This will help us to shape our campaigns in the future.” –
