Your Detailing Business referral program

Give a friend $20 off their first detail.
When they book and complete the appointment, you get $25 in service credit.

Rules:
- Reward applies after the referred appointment is completed.
- Friend must be a new customer.
- Rewards cannot be combined with other discounts unless approved.
- Referral credit expires after 90 days.

Tracking:
Ask the new customer who referred them, tag both customers in your booking system, and apply the reward after payment is complete.

Internal tracking instructions

Referral tracking checklist:
1. Ask every new customer: “Who referred you?”
2. Add referrer name to the booking notes.
3. After payment clears, text the referrer their reward.
4. Track monthly referrals and reward cost.
5. If margin drops below target, lower the friend discount before lowering service quality.

What makes a referral offer work

The offer should be easy to explain, easy to redeem, and profitable after discounts. For detailers, service credit usually works well because it brings customers back for another appointment.

Related: ask your happiest customers for a Google review first, then invite them into a referral offer while the detail is still fresh.

Local trust workflow

Connect Google visibility, reviews, and referrals.

Local growth works better when these pieces support each other. Fix the Google profile, ask for reviews after strong jobs, then turn happy customers into referrals.
