The problem this solves
What happens without this campaign
Word-of-mouth is your top channel but you can't measure it
People recommend drinks at kiosks, markets, and on WhatsApp constantly. None of it is attributed.
Paid social is expensive and shallow
Digital ads bring impressions. Peer referrals bring intent. Referral programmes tap the higher-value channel.
No incentive to refer actively
Loyal customers recommend passively. Active referral requires a structured reason.

Why brands run this
What this campaign does for your business
WhatsApp-native sharing
Referral links shared on WhatsApp convert at significantly higher rates than social media clicks in African markets.
Both parties rewarded
Referrer and referee both win. This removes the awkwardness of the ask and doubles participation.
Tracks attribution automatically
Every qualifying purchase from a referral link is logged and attributed. No manual tracking required.
Exponential potential
One loyal customer refers three friends. Each refers two more. The maths compounds.
