Design and run a referral or affiliate program: incentive, mechanics, promotion and fraud checks. Use when the user says things like "set up a referral program"; "should we start an affiliate program"; "how much should we pay per referral"; "our referral program isn't working"; "customers love us, how do we get them to tell friends"; "affiliate commission structure".

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Referral & affiliate program

Turns happy customers and aligned partners into a steady acquisition channel. Customer referrals run on loyalty and a small reward; affiliate programs pay outside promoters a commission to reach audiences you cannot. Both only work if the reward fits the economics, the ask comes at the right moment, sharing takes one click, and abuse is designed out. The result is a program design, a profitability check, the rules, and a launch and measurement plan.

## When to use
- Starting a refer-a-friend program, an affiliate or partner commission program, or both.
- "Nobody uses our referral program", "affiliates signed up but never promote".
- Choosing reward size, commission rate, attribution window or payout terms.
- Not for: joint campaigns with a partner company (`cmo-co-marketing`), paid creator sponsorships (`cmo-influencer`), or keeping existing customers (`cmo-churn-prevention`).

## Before you start
- Ask, one at a time: what is sold and at what price; gross margin; customer lifetime value or repeat rate; acquisition cost on other channels; B2B or B2C; who would naturally recommend it; budget and tools.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add ai-marketing-os-ltd/cmo-so-skills/cmo-referral-program@sha256:4189a79b1359d50d

The line at the top of this page pins the label v0.15.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
