Referral ROI
calculator — estimate
your salon's return.

No. These are planning scenarios based on the A$35 per-referral payout rate and estimated retention inputs you provide. Actual outcomes depend on invitation quality, team consistency, salon fit, and client behaviour. GlowRef makes no income guarantees. Use these figures for directional planning alongside your actual weekly redemption data after activation.

This varies significantly by salon type, team size, and invitation consistency. A small salon with one practitioner consistently inviting appropriate clients might generate 5–10 redemptions per month. A larger salon with 3–5 staff members consistently using the invitation conversation might generate 15–30. The quality of the invitation conversation matters more than the volume of invitations sent.

The effective client acquisition cost through GlowRef is zero — the A$35 payout is earned income, not a cost. Compare this to paid ads where a quality Sydney salon client typically costs A$60–200+ to acquire (including ad spend, creative, and management). For every retained client GlowRef produces, the salon saves the equivalent of its current CAC and earns A$35 on top.

Use your actual average service value and your observed retention rate for new clients. If you don't have precise data, a conservative starting point: A$100–150 average service, 3–4 visits per year for retained clients, 30–40% retention from new client introductions. Plug in your real numbers as they become available from weekly redemption reporting.
