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 Neon's.
With Neon's structure, the rewards for one referred customer cost $5. For 100 referred customers, if 50% would not have bought anyway, the program returns $20,500 of net contribution (4,100% ROI). It breaks even when 1.2% of referred customers are new because of it.
