Referral Conversion Rates β How many referred customers complete a purchase?

Customer Acquisition Cost (CAC) β Is referral marketing reducing acquisition costs?

Lifetime Value (LTV) of Referred Customers β Do they spend more and stay longer?

Continuous improvement ensures long-term referral success.
