The CAP Program · Client Advertising Program
Help us grow. We'll help pay for your project.
Advertising is expensive — and we would rather spend that money with our clients than on strangers. So we pay you for the things that actually help us grow: your yard, your post, and every person you introduce us to. Up to $600 before your install, and $100 per shade every time you send someone our way — for as long as you know us.
Why we do this
The best ad we could ever run is your backyard.
We could hand a few hundred more dollars to an ad platform and hope the right stranger scrolls past it. We'd rather hand it to you. Nothing sells a Shade Co screen like a real one, on a real patio, with a real neighbor standing under it telling the truth about it. That's the whole idea behind the CAP Program — you help us get in front of the right people, and we help pay for your project.
Earn up to $600 before your install · Two easy ways
Commit to a social media post showing your new shades
Your own words, your own feed. Just include the line 'Shade Co gave me a credit toward my job for this post' so it's all above board.
$300
Let us put a sign in your yard between order and install
Flat $300, every yard, no haggling. It goes up when you order and comes down after we install.
$300
Do both — the Full Package
$600
One-time per project, straight off your final payment.
Referrals · No cap, and no expiration.
You probably know ten people on your street alone who want these.
Your neighbors, your friends, your family, your builder, the people you work with — those are the best next projects we could ask for, and we would genuinely love to meet them. So we'll pay for the introduction, whether they end up buying or not.
Before your install
Every appointment you send us
Paid whether they buy or not. This one runs right up until your own install.
$100 each
For as long as you know us
Every motorized shade, every time someone you sent goes ahead
Per shade — not per project. Earned before your install, it comes straight off your final bill. Earned after, it comes to you as a gift card. This one never expires.
$100 per shade
And they get the same
Per shade off their project too, for coming in through you.
$100 per shade
There's no ceiling on it and no end date. Send someone next week or three years from now — it still pays the same. Just send them over at shadecousa.com/referral before we've talked to them, and the credit is yours.
Here's what that looks like
A three-shade project at $10,000.
Social post plus a yard sign
$600
Two appointments you sent us before your install
$200
One of them goes ahead with a three-shade project, at $100 per shade
$300
You earn back
$1,100
Eleven percent of your project back in your pocket, the neighbor you sent gets $100 off per shade on theirs — and it doesn't stop there. Every shade you send us from here on is another $100.
One thing we'll never pay for
WE DON'T PAY FOR REVIEWS.
Reviews aren't part of this program and never will be. Google doesn't allow companies to pay for them, and honestly we wouldn't want to — a review somebody was paid to leave isn't worth reading. We'll still ask you for one when we're finished, and we'll take an honest one either way.
It's easy · Here's the whole process
- Tell your rep which credits you'd like in on. They'll note it on your paperwork — that's your part done.
- Your quote stays at full price and your credits show as their own line, so you can always see exactly what you earned.
- We handle the sign and the paperwork. You post whenever you feel like it.
- Every credit in this program earned before your install comes straight off your final payment — post, sign, appointments, all of it. Once we confirm each one at closeout, you'll see it as its own line on your bill.
- Give us 30 days after install to wrap up the sign and the post. Anything we can't confirm by then simply comes off the list.
- Referrals go in at shadecousa.com/referral before we've spoken to them, so the credit lands with you. Once your own project is paid off, referral credits come to you as a gift card.
