Creating referral coupons

BookingTimes allows you to create referral coupons. Referral coupons give the referrer as well as the new customer a discount when they book a service or purchase a product online.

Referral coupons are a good way to incentivise your existing clients to drive traffic to your business from their social media accounts. This article will detail how to set up and what is shown to the client.
