Email #17: Tell A Friend Without Picking Up The Phone

Dear <firstname> ,
One method of viral marketing is using 
tell-a-friend script on your website. This 
is a simple programming script that you 
can attach to the programming on your 
site. Usually tell a friend scripts are installed
 in pages where a media is placed so that
 a person can easily send the media to any 
of his friends or family members and do it 
quickly. 

Basically the tell a friend script is a script 
where a person can input his name, e-mail 
address, the recipient’s e-mail address and 
send the media to his friend or family 
member much like an e-mail with an 
attachment.

When the recipient gets the e-mail he won’t 
think of it as spam mail because he sees the 
senders name as someone he knows and trusts.

When the e-mail is opened it will be read, 
viewed or played. Included in the e-mail would 
be a brief description of the company or site 
that sponsors the media sent and another tell a 
friend script. Then the process begins again.

Tell a friend script is very simple and doesn’t 
require a complicated method of programming. 
You can just copy and paste a script and simply
 put it on an intended page. 

Use your favorite search engine and type in 
“tell a friend script”. There will be a lot of results.
There are free ones and paid ones. You just use 
the one that best fits your needs. 

By using tell a friend script, you can potentially 
drive traffic into your site and that could spell profits.

To your successful viral campaigns,

“Your Name”
“Your Website Link”
