Hook: Micro-gifts are the entry point — this playbook turns that goodwill into repeat customers with data, creator attribution, and serialized follow-ups.
Sequence that works
- Micro-gift on site with unique code.
- Immediate social reward for sharing (second code).
- Serialized email drop linked to the code after 7–10 days.
- Creator-led live drop to convert engaged users.
Operational requirements
- Simple code generation and redemption pipeline.
- Real-time settlement for creator share and micro-fulfillment for physical items.
- Packaging and delivery optimized for small runs: see packaging guides: Packaging & Delivery for Art Prints.

Measurement & KPIs
Track redemption rate, uplift in DAU from redeemed users, and creator-attributed revenue. Use observability patterns to ensure accurate attribution and low dispute rates.
Bottom line: The key to micro-gift success is tight measurement and a serialized follow-up that leverages creator momentum.
