How to design a referral campaign

A step-by-step guide to designing a referral campaign that grows your app without inviting fraud — from picking the qualifying action to setting reward amounts.

Pick the qualifying action

Reward genuine value — a paid conversion or real retention — not a raw signup.

Choose single vs double-sided

When to reward both sides and how that changes conversion and cost.

Set the math

Reward amount vs LTV/CAC, caps, and windows that keep the campaign profitable.
