ReferralCandy lets you filter your customers into segments to design referral rewards that resonate with their preferences. For example, you could create a segment of loyal users and send them bigger rewards.

Note: This applies only for new merchants who haven’t activated their programs yet. Coming soon for existing merchants who have already activated!

What is segmentation?

A segment is a group of your users defined by rules or filters that you set:

Segments are dynamic - Users who match the filters now and anyone who matches the filter in the future will be automatically enrolled/unenrolled.
Segments limit your target audience - Before you activate your program, you have the choice to choose between: (a) target all Advocates and (b) target by segment. If you choose (b), this limits your referral program to your segment. (✨Upcoming release: multiple campaigns. You’ll soon be able to run a segmented campaign alongside your existing referral program).
Segmented campaigns are optional - Your existing campaign setup remains unaffected if you do not want to use segments at all.

How does this impact your Advocates?

The table below outlines all the effects of enrollment to the referral program.

Enrolled - Meets segment rules
Unenrolled - Does not meet segment rules

	Enrolled	Unenrolled
Referral link	Valid link to refer friends	Invalid link that no longer works
Emails sent	Sent automatically by default: Invite email Reminder email Reward emails	Sent automatically by default: Reward emails (unenrollment does not affect rewardable purchases that were made already)
Email subscription	Subscribed by default	Subscribed by default (Advocates may still need to be notified of eligible rewards OR future campaigns you may launch)
Rewards	Same as campaign settings	No new rewards generated Only approved and pending rewards prior to unenrollment will be sent
