Why switch

Why DTC brands move from Refersion to Club

More than tracking

Refersion tracks. Club activates.

Refersion tells you which affiliate made which sale. Club does that plus engages your ambassadors daily: missions, UGC briefs, social challenges, leaderboards, and rewards that keep your community active and motivated.

Community

Your affiliates become a community

Refersion's affiliates work in isolation: they have a link, they share it, they get paid. Club builds a community around your brand where ambassadors compete, collaborate, and grow more engaged over time.

Revenue

More touchpoints = more revenue

Affiliate links drive purchase-intent traffic. Club ambassadors also generate UGC, post on social, write reviews, and refer friends: creating multiple revenue touchpoints, not just one link.

Common questions

Club vs Refersion: answered

Is Club better than Refersion?

What is the difference between Club and Refersion?
