# Drive referrals by sharing your phone number

## A great way to grow your Subtext campaign is by asking your subscribers to share the number with their family and friends.

**Why**: We trust the opinions of our friends and family and often share interests with them. 👬

**How**: A natural way for people to sign up for your campaign is by having them text a keyword to your phone number. You can find your number in the ***Campaign*** tab of your dashboard and set-up a sign-up keyword under the ***Campaign Sign-up*** section. 

### **Now to the referrals**

You can set-up your referrals a few different ways.

- **Welcome Message:** Update your welcome message to include a line like the one below encouraging people to share your service with their family and friends.

- **Bi-monthly texts:** Set-up up a text that'll offer an incentive for referring subscribers. If you have a **free campaign**, you can consider promo offers on your products or some swag. If you have a **paid campaign,** offer a promo code for discounted service. If a subscriber confirms their referral’s number, then simply verify that number is in your subscriber list and **return the favor with a promotional offer to both parties.**
