2. Incentive Economics

2. 激励经济学模型

Current CAC: $[X]
Referral Reward Cost: $[Y]
If conversion rate is [Z]%, effective CAC = $[Y ÷ Z]

Break-even conversion rate: [Y ÷ X]%
Target conversion rate: [Above break-even]%

5. Viral Coefficient Framework

5. 病毒系数框架

K = i × c
Where:
  • i = invitations sent per customer
  • c = conversion rate of invitations
K-FactorMeaning
< 0.5Weak referrals, needs other channels
0.5-1.0Healthy referrals, amplifies growth
> 1.0Viral growth, self-sustaining
To improve:
  • Increase invitations (i): More prompts, easier sharing, gamification
  • Increase conversion (c): Better landing page, higher incentive, trust signals
K = i × c
其中:
  • i = 每位客户发出的邀请数
  • c = 邀请的转化率
K系数含义
< 0.5推荐效果弱,需要搭配其他渠道
0.5-1.0推荐效果良好,可放大增长
> 1.0病毒式增长,可自我维持
优化方向:
  • 提升邀请数(i):增加提示、简化分享流程、加入游戏化设计
  • 提升转化率(c):优化落地页、提高激励力度、增加信任背书

6. Tracking & Attribution

6. 追踪与归因

  • Attribution requirements
  • Implementation options (URL params, unique links, hybrid)
  • Fraud prevention measures
  • Attribution window recommendations
See assets/tracking-launch.yaml
  • 归因需求
