A referral story that makes sharing feel like a favor
Referrals work when passing a code feels like handing over a gift. The story should look friendly and show two sides of the deal. Describe the reward and your brand colors, and the bot paints a vertical picture with space for the code and terms.

Make it in TelegramBoth sides win
A referral is easier when the friend and the sender both get something. Draw the two-way exchange with a gift box, two cups or two tickets. Keep faces out of the picture and use hands or silhouettes. Then state the reward in numbers inside your own text layer, for example a discount for each. If the draft feels corporate, rerun with 'hand-drawn, warm, casual'.
Make the code easy
Codes should be short, in large letters and easy to type from a phone. Place it on the middle band and also repeat it in the caption or sticker. Check the rules on incentivized referrals in your market and on the platforms you use, since some require disclosure. Save a version for email and one for a thank-you page, so every happy customer sees the invitation at least twice.
Tips
- Show two sides, the giver and the receiver.
- Keep the reward clear in one short line.
- Pick friendly colors that match the product.
- Add an expiry date in your own text.
Questions and answers
