## Cited GrowthDex tactics

- [Dropbox product reward not cash](/growth-ideas/dropbox-product-reward-not-cash/) - Make the referral reward more of the product when the product has obvious marginal value to both sender and friend.
- [Dropbox referral readiness from existing word of mouth](/growth-ideas/dropbox-referral-readiness-from-existing-word-of-mouth/) - Launch a referral program only after users are already recommending the product, then turn that unmanaged sharing into a reliable loop.
- [Dropbox referral surface inside onboarding](/growth-ideas/dropbox-referral-surface-inside-onboarding/) - Place referral prompts inside onboarding, upgrade surfaces, and reward emails instead of treating referrals as a one-off campaign.
