ReferralIntermediate
1-2 weeks to design and build, immediate viral potential

When to use

Your product generates results users would be proud to share. Works for fitness, learning, analytics, productivity, growth.

Hypothesis template

If we create shareable [result cards/reports] that users can post on [social/email], we'll get [target] organic impressions/month because people share their achievements.

Method

The problem: Your users get great results but nobody outside knows. The results stay inside your product.

What Spotify Wrapped did: Turned listening data into shareable graphics. Every December, millions of people post their Wrapped — giving Spotify billions of free impressions.

The result: Spotify Wrapped is the most successful organic viral campaign in SaaS history. Users do the marketing for you because they want to share their identity.

How to do it:

  1. Identify what results your users are proud of: achievements, milestones, growth metrics
  2. Design a beautiful, shareable graphic or card with their data
  3. Add sharing buttons: Twitter, LinkedIn, Instagram story, copy link
  4. Include your branding subtly — don't make it an ad
  5. Trigger the share prompt at moments of pride: experiment completed, goal hit, milestone reached
  6. Track: shares, impressions, signups from shared content

Key insight: People don't share products. They share their results, their identity, their achievements. Make your product the canvas for their story.
