"You create here. Now earn here too." — TwentyOne38 Studios
THE PROGRAM
The TwentyOne38 Refer & Earn program is a partner program designed for creatives, professionals, and businesses who are already connected to photographers, videographers, event planners, content creators, and brands.
When someone in your network books a session at Spectrum — Chicago's only 8-in-1 styled content studio — using your unique referral link or personal promo code, you earn 15% of that booking automatically. No selling required. No minimum referrals. No complicated tiers.
It is that simple.
WHO IS THIS FOR?
Anyone who knows creatives — photographers, makeup artists, stylists, event planners, videographers, brand managers, marketing agencies, coaches, consultants, fitness professionals, food bloggers, podcasters, and more. If the people in your world create content or host events, this program was built for you.
THE PROCESS
After your first completed session at any TwentyOne38 studio, you will receive an automatic email inviting you to join the program. Click the link, create a password, and you're in. Your referral link and promo code are generated instantly and any referrals you make start earning immediately.
Share your link or promo code on social media, in emails, in conversation — however you reach your people. When someone books using your link or code they get 10% off their first session. You earn 15% of that booking. Start sharing immediately — your earnings activate the moment you complete your own first session at any TwentyOne38 studio.
Your earnings accumulate in your partner dashboard. Payouts are processed monthly once your balance reaches $25. There is no cap on how much you can earn, no expiry on your referral link or promo code, and no limit on how many people you can refer. The more your network books, the more you earn — every single month.
YOUR TOOLS
Every partner receives both of the following. Together they ensure you get credit for every referral, every time.
Your link tracks automatically in the background. When someone clicks it and lands on 2138studios.com, the system tags them as your referral. Even if they browse and come back days later to book — you still get credit.
BEST FOR:
Your promo code gives the person you refer 10% off their first session — making you look good and giving them a real reason to book. It also catches any referral that didn't come through your link, so you never miss a commission.

THE NUMBERS
Here is exactly what 15% looks like in real numbers based on real Spectrum booking scenarios:
Example: Refer just 4 weekend full-studio bookings in a month and you earn $228 — automatically, with zero extra work beyond sharing your link. Refer 10 single-scene weekend bookings and you earn $150. There is no ceiling.
