Expected impact

Turns activated users into a referral channel; the stated two-sided reward does the persuasion.

Why it works

Dropbox's two-sided referral (500MB to both sides) drove 3900% growth in 15 months, from ~100K to 4M users, at 35% of daily signups.

The prototype prompt

This is the spec Growthtyping compiles for you. The {{brand.*}} tokens are replaced with colors, fonts, radii, and voice pulled from your brand — so the render comes out on-brand, not generic.

PATTERN SPEC: An in-app referral panel for {{brand.name}}: a headline stating the two-sided reward plainly, a personal invite link in a bordered {{brand.border}} chip with a copy button, and share buttons. Below, a progress row showing invites sent / joined with earned rewards highlighted in {{brand.success}}. Primary actions in {{brand.primary}} with {{brand.card_radius}} card radius; supporting text in {{brand.secondary_text}}.
