A flexible platform that is easy to optimise

Mention Me’s software platform powers the Karen Millen referral marketing experience.  Our ability to segment and AB test across different customer cohorts without involving the engineering team means the platform is very flexible.  The marketing team at Karen Millen have been able to tailor the messaging by customer segment and test different components of their referral programme enabling them to quickly optimise its performance.  

 

The platform includes detailed analysis and reporting and is backed up by the referral experts at Mention Me who help make sure all the referral programmes we create reach their full potential.

 

Driving a great customer experience 

Launched back in November, Karen Millen’s referral channel is contributing positively to their customer experience and new customer acquisition.  Customers have a very positive view of the scheme, especially the name sharing element has been a real benefit for those who share with friends in real-world conversations.  Name sharing is Mention Me’s patent-pending technology which means there are no voucher codes to remember or emails and links to find, so it's much easier for referred friends to convert to shoppers.

Recognition for customer experience highlights what’s possible when referrals work well, and a referral marketing platform gives you the tools to replicate that level of performance in your own business.

Thank you Retail Week and congratulations to our friends at Karen Millen.  And we’re crossing our fingers for when the awards are presented on June 23rd!
