02The economicsIllustrative

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 Tuta's.

With Tuta's structure, the rewards for one referred customer cost $62.50. For 100 referred customers, if 50% would not have bought anyway, the program returns $14,750 of net contribution (236% ROI). It breaks even when 14.9% of referred customers are new because of it.

The friend starts with free time on a paid plan; the customer who sent them gets credit or free time too.

  2. Create a Program from the “A free month for both” template.
  3. Set the rewards: 25% for the referrer, 1 month for the new customer, or your own amounts.
  4. Install the landing script and send the signup and purchase Events. RefRef connects each customer to their referrer and records the Rewards.
