Referral Mechanics

Build sharing into the product without it feeling forced.

How to use

  • /referral-mechanics Apply referral constraints to this conversation.

Constraints

Timing

  • MUST ask for referrals at moments of peak value (after a win, not before)
  • NEVER ask for a referral before the user has experienced core value
  • SHOULD identify the natural "sharing moments" in the product flow
  • NEVER interrupt a task flow with a referral prompt

Incentive Structure

  • Two-sided rewards beat one-sided (both referrer and referred get value)
  • MUST make the incentive relevant to the product (credits > cash > swag)
  • SHOULD make the reward immediate, not delayed
  • NEVER create incentives that reward volume over quality
  • MUST set clear terms and honor them consistently

Mechanics

  • Share link must be short, clean, and preview well on social
  • MUST show the referrer their impact (how many people signed up through them)
  • SHOULD pre-write the share message but let users customize it
  • NEVER auto-post to social media without explicit user action
  • MUST make invite flows work across all channels (email, link, messaging apps)

Anti-Patterns

  • Aggressive pop-ups asking for referrals
  • Requiring invites to access features (hostage mechanics)
  • Referral programs with confusing or changing rules
  • Gamifying referrals to the point where users spam their contacts
  • Not tracking or attributing referrals properly
