Reference payout examples based on the A$35 per redeemed referral model. Use these for planning before rollout — then set your own targets once your redemption rate is established.
Redemption rate guide: 30–40% is a cautious starting estimate for new partners. 50–60% is achievable with strong Tier-1 client selection. 70%+ is possible with premium selection and excellent invitation framing.
Reference only. Actual payouts depend on real redemption behaviour. No fees or deductions applied — A$35 per redeemed referral is the full amount.
| Scenario | Redemptions / week | Gifting context | Weekly · Monthly · Annual |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pilot start | 3 | 5 gifted, 60% rate. Tight Tier-1 pilot. | A$105 A$420 / mo · A$5,040 / yr |
| Stable pilot | 5 | 8–10 gifted, 50–60% rate. Proven selection. | A$175 A$700 / mo · A$8,400 / yr |
| Active partner | 10 | 18–20 gifted, 50% rate. Steady weekly cadence. | A$350 A$1,400 / mo · A$16,800 / yr |
| Growing salon | 15 | 25 gifted, 60% rate. Strong client base. | A$525 A$2,100 / mo · A$25,200 / yr |
| High volume | 20 | 30–35 gifted, 60% rate. Proven + scaled. | A$700 A$2,800 / mo · A$33,600 / yr |
| Premium partner | 30 | 40 gifted, 75% rate. Premium selection, excellent framing. | A$1,050 A$4,200 / mo · A$50,400 / yr |
Note: these are reference examples for planning — not guarantees. Actual redemption rates vary by salon type, client selection quality, and invitation framing. A cautious planning estimate is 40–50% redemption rate on well-selected Tier-1 clients. Results above this are achievable with strong execution.
Not every gifted client redeems in week one. Many redeem 2–4 weeks after receiving the invitation — at their next visit to your salon, after a life event, or when they finally get around to booking. This creates a delayed redemption tail that adds up alongside your fresh weekly gifts.
A salon gifting 10 clients per week from week 3 onward typically has 20–30 "pending" gifts floating at any time — all with redemption potential. The active pool grows faster than any single week's numbers suggest.
Before rollout, pick a conservative weekly redemption target and work backwards. For a target of A$350/week: you need 10 redemptions. At 50% redemption rate, you need to gift 20 clients per week. At a salon with 40 active premium clients per week, that's one in two receiving the invitation — achievable with selective targeting.
Start at 5 redemptions/week (modest, easy to achieve, lets you verify quality before scaling), then increase gifting pace once you have 4 weeks of clean data. Conservatism in week 1 pays off in week 12.
Quick target calc: Income target ÷ A$35 = redemptions needed. Redemptions ÷ rate = clients to gift. Run this before your activation call.
No — they're reference examples for planning. Actual income depends on your real redemption rate, which is driven by client selection quality, invitation framing, and salon fit. Treat 40% redemption as a conservative estimate for initial planning, not a floor or ceiling.
Yes. The A$35 rate is standard across all Sydney partner salons — hair, facial, skin, beauty, medspa. No salon type receives a higher or lower rate. The rate may be reviewed periodically; any change would be communicated in advance with minimum 4 weeks' notice.
Yes — in theory. But volume without quality produces low redemption rates. Gifting 30 clients at 20% redemption (6 payouts = A$210) is worse than gifting 12 clients at 60% (7 payouts = A$245) — and the lower-quality approach degrades your brand at the spa. Quality selection beats raw volume.
Daily invitation caps exist for this reason — they protect redemption quality, which protects your income.
Redemptions are tracked and consolidated into the weekly report. Payment is processed after the weekly report is issued — typically Monday for the prior week's activity. Lag is 5–7 days from redemption to payment in most cases.
Yes. Each active location generates its own gifting flow and payout. A group of 3 salons each generating 10 redemptions per week earns A$1,050/week across the group — tracked and reported separately per location for clarity. Discuss multi-site activation during your onboarding call.
A mid-size hair salon with 60–80 active premium clients per week, gifting 15 per week at 50% redemption, would generate roughly 7–8 redemptions per week — approximately A$280–A$350 weekly or A$1,100–A$1,400 monthly. Annualised: A$13,000–A$17,000. These are reference estimates, not projections.
