As the leading provider of referral solutions for telecommunications companies, RewardStream has over a decade of referral expertise that helps wireless providers like Koodo maintain a competitive edge in new customer acquisition. By leveraging the trust and power of social recommendations, RewardStream delivers a new acquisition channel that secures the most valuable and loyal customers at a much lower cost than traditional marketing channels.

"Selecting a wireless provider can be complicated, and we are excited to work with Koodo to harness the power of personal recommendations to make this process easier," said Rob Goehring, CEO of RewardStream. "Referrals are a proven and powerful method of elevating a company's message above the noise of traditional advertising."

According to Nielsen, customers are four times more likely to make a purchase when recommended by a friend, and recommendations are the most powerful method of building trust with consumers, ahead of any other advertising channel. RewardStream's Spark platform provides advanced reporting and analytics, fraud detection, and less ongoing management than other marketing tools.

"We're delighted to work with RewardStream and launch Koodo Refer-a-Friend to our customers," said Dan Quick, Head of Koodo Mobile. "At Koodo, we are dedicated to making our customers happy and Koodo Refer-a-Friend allows us an opportunity to reward our customers for referring their friends and family."

Koodo Refer-a-Friend rewards both the referring customer as well as new customers with 25 Koodo Tab credits that can be used towards the purchase of any device on the Koodo network. The user-friendly, bi-lingual referral web site works seamlessly on all desktops, laptops, tablets, and smartphones, and integrates with Gmail, Yahoo, and Outlook.

Koodo Refer-a-Friend is available to all current Koodo customers. For more information on the program, visit: www.koodomobile.com/referafriend.
