About the store

The store sells fabric, batting, thread, notions and patterns to quilters, embroiderers and sewing enthusiasts in the United States.

The program

A US quilting supplies store runs a double-sided referral program in BLOOP, with the first referral orders arriving in July 2025. The customer who refers and the friend they invite each get $10 off.

Results

In the last six full months (April to September 2026), referral revenue was 165% higher than in the six months before.

29% of the friends who received the $10 reward used it on an order.

23% of referred friends came back and placed at least one more order after their first referral purchase.

The $10 friend reward is worth about 10% of an average referral order, so the store pays a small, predictable amount for each new customer.

The chart shows monthly referral revenue as an index, where the best month equals 100.
