Send a friend.
A client shares a link. The friend gets the founding rate. The client gets a share of what the friend pays in their first year. That is the whole program.
- Who can refer
- Any client. If you have bought anything from the studio, your link is on your account page.
- What your friend gets
- The founding rate, while founding rates are open. The same prices you paid — nothing is marked up to make room for your credit.
- What you get
- 10% of your friend’s first 12 months of paid work with the studio, paid quarterly, as a credit or a payout — your choice. A credit goes against your next project; a payout goes to you.
- What does not count
- Your own purchases, under any name or email. Refunds — a refunded project comes back out of the base. Work your friend paid for before they used your link.
- How it is tracked
- The link. It carries your code (
?ref=YOURCODE). When your friend takes the quiz or writes in through it, the code is stored with their enquiry and matched to their account when they buy. If they arrive some other way, write to Hugo before they pay and it can be set by hand. - When it is paid
- At the end of each calendar quarter, for the work paid in that quarter. Hugo sends the amount with the list of what it covers, and you say whether it goes to your next project or to you.
