Sharing Offers
Build and share your referral links effectively
The key to successful referrals is sharing the right offers with the right people. This guide covers how to build referral links and the best places to share them.
Building Referral Links
How to create links that track to you
Link Builder
This is how you build referral links on the Referrals page
Link structure explained
- [coupon-id] — The specific coupon you're sharing
- [your-code] — Your referral code that tracks the referral to you
Share on Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, or TikTok. Local deals perform especially well on neighborhood-focused pages.
Tip: Include the discount amount in your post to catch attention.
Family group chats, friend groups, and work channels are great for personal recommendations.
Tip: Add a personal note about why you like the business.
Nextdoor, Facebook groups, Reddit communities, and Discord servers focused on local deals or your area.
Tip: Follow group rules—some have restrictions on promotional posts.
Send links directly to friends who you know would be interested in a specific offer.
Tip: Personalized recommendations convert better than mass messages.
Best Practices
Tips for successful sharing
Do: Be authentic
Share offers you genuinely think are good deals. Your audience trusts your recommendations.
Do: Add context
“I love this coffee shop's lattes—here's $5 off!” is more compelling than just dropping a link.
Do: Disclose when required
Some platforms require disclosure of affiliate relationships. When in doubt, mention you earn a small commission.
Don't: Spam
Posting the same link repeatedly or to irrelevant groups hurts your credibility and may get you banned.
Don't: Make false claims
Only share accurate information about the offer. Exaggerating deals leads to disappointed referrals who won't trust future recommendations.
Don't: Self-refer
Using your own referral links for yourself or creating fake accounts violates our terms of service.
Creating Multiple Codes
Track different channels
You can create multiple referral codes to track which channels perform best. For example:
ALEX-INSTA
For Instagram bio
ALEX-TWITTER
For Twitter posts
ALEX-FRIENDS
For direct shares
Tip
Review your code performance on the Referrals page to see which channels drive the most redemptions. Double down on what works!
