Activate Word-of-Mouth and Reduce CAC

Teachers belong to tight-knit groups who know and trust each other. When one member shares a personalized offer with the group, others are likely to take advantage of it. In fact, more than 90% of teachers said they would share such an offer with others if they knew they were eligible. This kind of viral, word-of-mouth marketing helps drive down customer acquisition costs.
