Libro.fm Audiobook Referral Program Debuts

On March 1, Libro.fm announced its audiobook referral program, which encourages customers to spread the word to friends and family and be rewarded with free audiobooks. Anyone referred will automatically be connected to the referring person’s store once they sign up for a membership. Customers can refer a friend on the Libro.fm referral page and learn more about the program on the Libro.fm blog. Assets to promote the referral program are available on Google Drive.
