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 UpCloud's.
With UpCloud's structure, the rewards for one referred customer cost €75. For 100 referred customers, if 50% would not have bought anyway, the program returns €13,500 of net contribution (180% ROI). It breaks even when 17.9% 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: €50 for the referrer, €25 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.
