FAQ for this niche

How do we keep gift-with-purchase SKUs from cannibalizing?

Gate rewards to $60+ carts and exclude limited-edition bundles from stacking.

Can we highlight before/after content?

Yes—send every new referrer a UGC checklist so approvals stay quick.

What if international orders spike shipping costs?

Cap referrals to domestic markets until fulfillment buffers are in place.

How do we keep ambassadors motivated?

Mix tangible rewards (credits, merch) with social proof moments such as blog spotlights or speaker slots.

Do we need dedicated staffing?

Assign a community lead or CX manager to host check-ins and monitor tier health each month.

When do we pay the reward?

Only after invoices are paid or milestones reached—finance retains final approval.
