Four steps from invite to revenue

1

Customer gets their referral link

Every subscriber gets a unique, shareable referral page. They share it via text, social, or email — one tap from the Customer Dashboard.

2

A friend signs up through the link

The referred friend joins your text list through the referral page. They immediately receive a credit toward their first purchase.

3

The friend makes their first purchase

When the new subscriber completes their first text-to-buy order, their credit is applied automatically. No codes to remember.

4

The referrer earns their reward

Once the friend purchases, the referrer gets a credit toward their next order. Both rewards are tied to real transactions — not just sign-ups.

Credits tied to purchases, not a cost center

Traditional referral programs give away discounts and hope for the best. AudienceTap rewards are triggered by actual purchases — so your CAC is known and offset by real revenue.

Traditional referral programs

Reward on sign-up regardless of purchase intent. Credits sit unused in customer portals. Unknown CAC with no revenue offset.

  • Rewards triggered by sign-ups alone
  • Credits often forgotten and unused
  • No connection to actual revenue
  • CAC is a guess at best

AudienceTap Customer Referral System

Rewards are triggered by actual purchases. Credits are applied automatically at checkout. Your acquisition cost is known and offset by real transactions.

  • Referrer earns credits only when friend purchases
  • Credits applied automatically at checkout
  • Every reward tied to actual revenue
  • Known CAC, offset by real purchases
