Purpose and Mission

Locorum’s mission is to:

“Make offline referrals a scaleable marketing channel.”

Locorum’s goal is to digitally amplify word-of-mouth by making offline referrals a scalable marketing channel. Our founders discovered a crucial gap in the market for businesses looking to implement scalable referral programs, affecting their word-of-mouth marketing and, ultimately, business growth. By enabling businesses to manage and track referrals efficiently, Locorum bridges offline and online referrals.

What is Locorum

In the simplest terms, Locorum is a digital referral and rewards platform. This basically means that we’re a comprehensive platform designed to help businesses manage and scale their referral programs and reward their customers efficiently. 

An online referral and rewards program encourages customers to refer friends and family to a business in exchange for rewards. Benefits include increased customer loyalty, enhanced engagement, and scalable business growth.

Here's how it works:

Online Referral Platform

Locorum enables businesses to set up, market and manage referral programs seamlessly. We have partnered with MasterCard to send pre-paid cards so your clients have the flexibility to spend their rewards on what they want. 

Digital Reward Sending

Locorum also allows you to send rewards to your customers separately from your referral rewards. So, if you want to send them birthday or holiday gifts, contest earnings, customer rewards, or anything else, you can do so in under five minutes.  

Custom-Branded Rewards

On top of that, we give you the option to send custom-branded Mastercards to personalize your rewards. These cards have your company’s logo on them, so every time your clients use them, they are thinking about your brand, reinforcing your brand identity. These cards also increase customer engagement and loyalty, as recipients associate the brand with the rewards. This customization not only promotes brand recognition but also strengthens the overall impact of the rewards program on customer satisfaction and retention.
