Hey all,

Launched our project on Indiegogo a couple of months ago after a successful Kickstarter campaign. Theres a lot of differences between the two platforms (some good others not so much,) One of the cool features on Indiegogo is the ability to run and monitor a referral campaign and i was wondering if anyone has had any success with one? If so, howd you set it up?

Im not sure if this forum is active anymore but thought id ask. Check us out here!

The referral should show up on the Dashboard, combined with Google Analytics and should be pretty easy to track.

I have heard great things, but you have to be smart the way you go about it.

Yes, referral campaigns using the Indiegogo dashboard does work. Actually, the dashboard just makes it easier to track referrals right inside the campaign itself.

This campaign that I helped run had a referral campaign created in this way, using the Indiegogo referral dashboard. It worked out well enough that we reached $1 million with the project: https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/xgimi-h1-immersive-home-theatre#/

Beyond that, I'd also recommend using a platform like Kickbooster (https://kickbooster.me/) to run referral campaigns. They make the whole referral process a lot simpler with how they've set up their dashboard, referral links and notifications.

Here's a detailed breakdown of how FinalStraw ($1.8 million raised) used Kickbooster to run their referral program: https://crushcrowdfunding.com/get-free-traffic-and-more-backers-with-a-referral-program/

And yes, this can also be applied to an Indiegogo campaign!

What is the referral campaign exactly? How does it work? How to use it?
