Bold white headline reads "How Do You Build a Referral Program That Drives Real Revenue?" above the subhead "Reward the whole journey — not just the sale." A three-stage ReferralVault reward pipeline runs left to right: a blue "New" card with a person-plus icon, a "Validated" card with a shield checkmark, and a "Completed" card with a circled checkmark topped by a gold "New Member" star badge, all linked by gold arrows. Beneath each stage, gold dollar amounts show the escalating tiered rewards "Share $5," "Trial $15," and "Join $55." At right, a smartphone displays a branded reward notification with a gift icon reading "You've earned a reward" and a white "Choose your reward" button. The Promotion Vault logo sits in the lower-right corner.
