Referral Program FAQs

Referral marketing essentially means that you refer others to purchase our products by word of mouth. We want to reward you for spreading the word by giving you a generous commission for your time. When a customer you refer purchases products from us you will receive 5% of everything they purchase for one full year!

While there are similarities between the two types of marketing, referral marketing takes a more personal, direct approach. We want people who know, like, and use our brand to refer others to our products based on their experience and interactions with us.

Ballantyne Gear uses GoAffPro to manage the technical backend of our referral program. They are highly rated and provide the unique specifications we need in order to give you commissions for a full year. For specific questions please contact VP of Marketing, Amy Ballantyne, Amy@BallantyneGear.com.

There are a few different parameters set up to ensure you receive credit for your customer.

1) You will be given a unique URL specifically to you. This is the only link that will track your sales. Once clicked, this URL activates a tracking cookie that is valid for 7 days. A tracking cookie is a digital footprint to trace back to your account for credit of the sale. If Your potential customer creates an account or makes a purchase within that 7 day period using that link, the accounts will be automatically connected. Encouraging your customer to create an account before they purchase immediately links your accounts.

After that 7 days your potential client can re-click your unique URL or you can do the step below.

2) However, you can also give your potential client your name and referral code and we will process the sale on our end connecting your accounts (no matter the time frame past the 7 days).

You will find your referral code after the = sign in your URL. For example if my Referral Program URL was www.BallantyneGear.com=TestABC, TestABC would be my referral code I would give with my name.

3) Many times Ballantyne Gear creates a custom quote for clients and sends that quote via email to the customer to complete the transaction.
