CASE STUDY
How The Fragrance Shop Scaled Customer Value with Social Referrals
Turning Loyal Shoppers Into High-Value Advocates
The Fragrance Shop, one of the UK’s leading perfume retailers, is known for delivering luxury scents at great value, with a customer base just as passionate about fragrance as the brand itself.
In a competitive eCommerce space, TFS partnered with Soreto to unlock the untapped potential of their happiest customers: their advocates. By implementing our powerful Referral technology, The Fragrance Shop was able to turn post-purchase excitement into meaningful growth, all through the power of social sharing.
Our solution bridges the gap between checkout and customer acquisition by transforming every sale into a Referral opportunity. The setup was seamless thanks to Soreto’s integration, with campaign assets customised to match The Fragrance Shop’s branding.

Post-Purchase Trigger
Immediately after checkout, customers see a Soreto-powered lightbox inviting them to share a discount with friends through social or messaging apps.
Referral Reward
For their efforts, customers receive a thank-you reward to use on their next purchase, creating a repeat cycle of engagement.
Organic Social Reach
Referral posts land directly in friends’ inboxes and feeds, driving warm, high-converting traffic organically.
Lifetime Value
When a referred friend converts, they’re prompted to refer others. The cycle continues, with each Referral increasing acquisition and lifetime value.
Creative Testing That Converts
The Fragrance Shop continuously optimised its Referral strategy with the help of Soreto’s built-in A/B Testing capabilities. From creative variations to reward structures, every element was trialled and refined to increase performance.
A/B testing was used to dial in the sweet spot for offer type, copy, imagery, and timing, ensuring each campaign delivered the maximum possible ROI.
