2. Lenskart wanted to increase their online sales.

The advertisements cost hefty and according to many studies, 76% of people do not trust the advertisements. Thus, getting something that people trust was a big deal.

Who do you trust more, your friends or the advertisements? Obviously your friends right! This is why Lenskart wanted to sync contacts of the customers to send their contacts messages regarding referral program.

OUR APPROACH

Lenskart has both online and physical stores, but to create a strong online presence is in the trend. Thus, Lenskart wanted something which can gain a strong customer base.

How does Lenskart Referral Program work?

Lenskart runs a referral program which says ‘Connect & Earn.’ The primary goal of Lenskart was to sync contacts of their customers.

Syncing of contact made it easy for Lenskart to send messages to the friends’ of their customer asking them to enrol in the referral program.

The messages sent to the customer’s contacts by Lenskart were in the name of the customers. Since people trust their friends more!!

For example, Eliza is the customer of Lenskart. She enrolled for the Lenskart referral program and clicked on the CTA which says ‘Sync Contacts’. Suppose Eliza have 200 contacts in her phone book, therefore the messages will be sent to all 200 contacts of Eliza.

This led to increased web traffic and increases sales.
