How do friends see the video when they receive a referral?

The video thumbnail is automatically embedded into whatever channel the advocate shares through : email, SMS/iMessage, social media, or the claim page. When the friend clicks, they see the personal video alongside the referral offer, creating a much more compelling and trustworthy experience than a static product image.

What's new in Talkable

Video referral campaigns people want to watch

Q: What devices and browsers are supported?

The video recorder works on all modern browsers including Chrome, Safari, Firefox, and Edge, on both desktop and mobile. No app install is needed. Advocates can also upload a pre-recorded video from their camera roll.

Q: How long can advocate videos be?

Videos can be up to 60 seconds long. This is intentionally short to keep content authentic, snackable, and easy to share. Short-form video consistently outperforms longer content in referral contexts.

Q: Can we reuse advocate videos as UGC in other marketing channels?

Yes. All advocate videos are stored in your Video Library dashboard where you can review, favorite, download, and repurpose them. Research shows 72% of users accept a brand's request to use their content (TINT), making these videos useful for ads, social media, email campaigns, product pages, and retention campaigns.

Q: How does video affect referral performance?

Video-enhanced referral campaigns see significantly higher engagement. 62% of customers will click on video content, and UGC video drives 4x higher click-through rates compared to static referral links. During pilot programs, 5-20% of advocates choose to add video, and those referrals see measurably higher conversion rates.

Turn referral shares into short customer-recorded videos that travel through email, SMS, social, and claim pages. Talkable captures the video, attaches it to the offer, measures the lift, and stores the best clips as reusable UGC.

Campaign proof

Video makes referral campaigns feel personal.

62%

Video referral clicks show that customers engage when the advocate message feels personal.

71%

UGC-influenced shoppers keep moving because the campaign carries proof inside the offer.

Video-forward referral touches can outperform static creative without becoming a production workflow.

How video campaigns move

Video should feel like a campaign moment, not a separate project. Add recording prompts where advocates already share, then carry the clip through the referral link, offer page, and UGC library.

Prompt the right advocates

Post-purchase, loyalty, and high-NPS moments can invite customers to add a short video to their referral share.

Guide the recording

Simple prompts help customers say what to show, why they love it, and how to keep the clip short enough to share.

Record or upload

Advocates record up to 60 seconds in the browser or upload a saved clip. No app download or new workflow.

Share, measure, reuse

The clip travels with the referral link, feeds performance reporting, and lands in the Video Library for reuse.

Customer proof you can reuse

Video referral campaigns collect proof from the customers already talking about you. The clip helps their friend understand the recommendation, and your team gets approved content to reuse across paid, owned, and lifecycle channels.

A stronger referral moment

Voice, face, and product context make the offer feel personal before a friend ever reaches the claim page.

Built from real customers

No creator marketplace or scripted brief. The campaign asks customers to share what they would already tell a friend.

A reusable UGC source

72% of users accept a brand's request to use their content (TINT). Every campaign can surface clips for ads, social, email, and product pages.

💬 "Tell your friends why you love it"

Just be yourself. No script needed.

One video, every referral surface
