What this structure costs on your numbers
Take a plan of $50 a month: $600 in the first 12 months, at a 70% gross margin. Keeping half of the gross profit leaves a reward budget of $210 for each referred customer. These are example figures, not Coda's.
With Coda's structure, the rewards for one referred customer cost $20. For 100 referred customers, if 50% would not have bought anyway, the program returns $19,000 of net contribution (950% ROI). It breaks even when 4.8% of referred customers are new because of it.
Two-sided credit
Start from the “Give $20, get $20” template
The customer and the friend they invite both get a fixed amount of credit or cash.
- Create a free RefRef account and add your Project.
- Create a Program from the “Give $20, get $20” template.
- Set the rewards: $10 for the referrer, $10 for the new customer, or your own amounts.
- Install the landing script and send the signup and purchase Events. RefRef connects each customer to their referrer and records the Rewards.
