What this script does
With this script you can grow your user base by motivating your visitors to refer your site on: Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Google+, forums, blogs, via email etc., in exchange for prizes or rewards.
This is a great marketing technique for any type of site. Especially since you can give away all kinds of prizes and it can even be used as a waitlist since there is a way to show users their position (rank) on the signup list which is also shown in the admin panel.
You can modify the email templates so that they display custom messages when a user receives a new referral and also when they are awarded the prize. This works great for digital downloads since you can include a link to the download in the goal reached email.
In the admin panel, you can add numerous prizes which are all triggered based on how many users people refer. As mentioned, each prize has customizable email templates.
Additionally, this script utilizes:
- Bootstrap 3
- TinyMCE
And has support for:
- Mandrill

Prizes Ideas
As mentioned, this script can work with just about any type of site. Additionally, prizes can motivate your visitors to refer your site more because as many already know, paid referral systems typically have payout minimums so if your visitors don’t believe they can reach that payout limit, they might not even try…
With Referrals for Prizes, you can give them prizes that they get as soon as they’ve referred a few of their friends. These prizes can be:
- Downloadable music, movies, software, themes, photos or anything else
- Ebooks
- Gift cards or vouchers
- Discount coupons
- Specials pricing on merchandise
- Free merchandise
- Free memberships
- Discounted memberships
- Access to online courses
And anything else you can think of…
