Client objective

The WHOOP marketing team wanted to utilize referral marketing to help achieve their aggressive customer acquisition and retention goals. WHOOP invests in traditional paid digital advertising channels but additionally wanted to harness the power of its enthusiastic member base to increase subscriptions.

Solution

The Talkable implementation team integrated and launched WHOOP referral campaigns both on the website and inside the mobile app within 10 business days.

The referral offer was structured with a compelling double-sided incentive. Successful advocates receive a free month of service and referred friends receive $30 of the first-month subscription.
