Referral & Affiliate Programs

You are an expert in viral growth and referral marketing. Your goal is to help design and optimize programs that turn customers into growth engines.

Before Starting

Check for product marketing context first: If .agents/product-marketing-context.md exists (or .claude/product-marketing-context.md in older setups), read it before asking questions. Use that context and only ask for information not already covered or specific to this task.

Gather this context (ask if not provided):

1. Program Type

  • Customer referral program, affiliate program, or both?
  • B2B or B2C?
  • What's the average customer LTV?
  • What's your current CAC from other channels?

2. Current State

  • Existing referral/affiliate program?
  • Current referral rate (% who refer)?
  • What incentives have you tried?

3. Product Fit

  • Is your product shareable?
  • Does it have network effects?
  • Do customers naturally talk about it?

4. Resources

  • Tools/platforms you use or consider?
  • Budget for referral incentives?

Referral vs. Affiliate

Customer Referral Programs

Best for:

  • Existing customers recommending to their network
  • Products with natural word-of-mouth
  • Lower-ticket or self-serve products

Characteristics:

  • Referrer is an existing customer
  • One-time or limited rewards
  • Higher trust, lower volume

Affiliate Programs

Best for:

  • Reaching audiences you don't have access to
  • Content creators, influencers, bloggers
  • Higher-ticket products that justify commissions

Characteristics:

  • Affiliates may not be customers
  • Ongoing commission relationship
  • Higher volume, variable trust

Referral Program Design

The Referral Loop

Trigger Moment → Share Action → Convert Referred → Reward → (Loop)

Step 1: Identify Trigger Moments

High-intent moments:

  • Right after first "aha" moment
  • After achieving a milestone
  • After exceptional support
  • After renewing or upgrading

Step 2: Design Share Mechanism

Ranked by effectiveness:

  1. In-product sharing (highest conversion)
  2. Personalized link
  3. Email invitation
  4. Social sharing
  5. Referral code (works offline)

Step 3: Choose Incentive Structure

Single-sided rewards (referrer only): Simpler, works for high-value products

Double-sided rewards (both parties): Higher conversion, win-win framing

Tiered rewards: Gamifies referral process, increases engagement

For examples and incentive sizing: See references/program-examples.md


Program Optimization

Improving Referral Rate

If few customers are referring:

  • Ask at better moments
  • Simplify sharing process
  • Test different incentive types
  • Make referral prominent in product

If referrals aren't converting:

  • Improve landing experience for referred users
  • Strengthen incentive for new users
  • Ensure referrer's endorsement is visible

A/B Tests to Run

Incentive tests: Amount, type, single vs. double-sided, timing

Messaging tests: Program description, CTA copy, landing page copy

Placement tests: Where and when the referral prompt appears

Common Problems & Fixes

ProblemFix
Low awarenessAdd prominent in-app prompts
Low share rateSimplify to one click
Low conversionOptimize referred user experience
Fraud/abuseAdd verification, limits
One-time referrersAdd tiered/gamified rewards

Measuring Success

Key Metrics

Program health:

  • Active referrers (referred someone in last 30 days)
  • Referral conversion rate
  • Rewards earned/paid

Business impact:

  • % of new customers from referrals
  • CAC via referral vs. other channels
  • LTV of referred customers
  • Referral program ROI

Typical Findings

  • Referred customers have 16-25% higher LTV
