Hey friends 👋,
Since day #1, Viral Loops is a template-based platform. We drew inspiration from various referral marketing campaigns (Dropbox, The Hustle, etc.), but the real game-changer for us was The Milestone Referral campaign from Harry’s.
This template is a real bestseller, and since we created the Messenger Giveaway template a few months ago, we thought that it would be a great idea to translate the Milestone referral approach to a more mobile-friendly environment.
And we did it!
Today I’m thrilled to announce The Milestone Referral Template for Messenger, powered by Manychat. 😻
Now you can run an ongoing referral marketing campaign entirely through Facebook Messenger, and reward with bigger prizes every time they reach a milestone.
Since Product Hunt has always been the first place we present anything new, we have a special offer for the community:
The 1st 100 people that sign up for The Milestone Referral Template for Messenger will get 50% off FOR LIFE!
We’ve already tested the template with a client, and we prepared an article that will help you to understand how it works:

You will receive your coupon code via Messenger, the moment you subscribe.
Feel free to shoot me with any questions 🙈
@scott_kennedy Hi Scott, we have an "early access" and want to ensure that people will get the most out of our new template—we want to guide you through and give you the best practices :)
great product, used it last year for a client and now building it into our own product launch - would love to chat with @geovasiliadis about adding viral loops product design into our product, say hi if you can 👋🏼
@tonyqlopez Thanks for bringing this up! In general, Facebook Pages are allowed to run referral campaigns and giveaways by incentivizing people to invite their friends to take actions and get several rewards. But, it depends on the case and the reward whether a campaign is compliant with Facebook Messenger's Terms of Services.
People are prompted to invite their friends based on altruism (people do not get rewarded for just sharing).
For example: "Invite your friends to get a chance to win this great reward!"
So let me get this straight. You got one of the biggest channels in Marketing right now (Messenger), combined it with a promising technology (chatbots) and mixed it with one of the best marketing strategies of all time (word-of-mouth - referral marketing). Seems like a recipe for success, IMHO.
@art_koster We’re aiming to update the existing the Milestone Referral for Messenger with a forward or/and share on Facebook solution.
Υou will still be able to forward the campaign to your friends as you can do now. The copy will change in order to prompt people to do so.
Also, we will probably include a Share on your Facebook feed option. The Milestone Referral Template for Messenger will get shared on the user’s Facebook profile. The user’s friends that click on the shared link will have to opt-in to claim whatever reward/offer from the embedded refURL.
