== 🎉 Unlock the Magic of Mutual Discounts 🎉 ==

With EchoRewards, your customers can **share coupons with their friends and family**. When someone redeems a coupon, the recipient receives a discount, and the person who shared it can also be rewarded.

This approach helps **turn customers into advocates** and can increase customer acquisition.

== EchoRewards Refer a Friend Plugin Helps you Achieve: ==

* **Increased Customer Acquisition:** People are more likely to try a new product or service when recommended by someone they trust. This WooCommerce coupon plugin enables customer-to-customer referrals.
* **Reduced Marketing Costs:** Customer referrals can reduce the cost of acquiring new customers compared to some advertising channels.
* **Enhanced Customer Loyalty:** Offering referral rewards shows appreciation, which may increase customer retention.
* **Trackable Marketing:** Track which customers provide referrals and which channels perform best.
