📂 Tiny Marketing Ideas: Two-sided referral rewards

Today's newsletter is proudly supported by Conversion Factory 🎉

I started Conversion Factory to help startups go from a nice-to-have to a must-have. We're the only product marketing agency accessible on a subscription. That's right — no quotes, no scopes, no billable hours, no contracts. Pay us a flat fee (we have 100% transparent pricing on our site) and we'll fly through your backlog. Follow the link to check out our example work and learn more about how we can help.

Idea 💡

Set up a two-sided referral reward program for users to share your program.

Two-sided referral programs reward both the referrer and the recipient. This gives the recipient a tangible reason to act soon, while still rewarding the referrer as well.

Examples 🔍

Robinhood's "Invite Friends, Get 5 Stocks" referral program

How Tesla Achieved 40x ROI with a $0 Advertising Budget
