The Tell-A-Friend function enables your subscribers to forward your newsletters to friends, colleagues, or acquaintances, expanding your reach beyond your existing audience.
Key features:
With the Tell-A-Friend module, you create forms that allow your existing subscribers to forward your newsletters to their personal network. The typical process begins with a click on "Recommend newsletter" in the newsletter, after which the subscriber enters the recipient's contact information in a form. Upon successful submission, the new recipient receives the forwarded email with a personalized accompanying message.
The form editor offers you extensive design options for customizing the forwarding form. You determine what information the sender should provide about themselves and the recipient. Additionally, you can integrate a link to the registration form, giving new recipients the opportunity to subscribe to your newsletter directly. The required HTML code is automatically generated by MAILINGWORK and can be individually customized if needed.
In the email texts, you define the accompanying messages with which the forwarded email is sent to the recipient. Here, you should definitely point out that this is a personal recommendation. Using the input aids, you can personalize this text, for example by inserting names or individual greeting formulas. This increases the likelihood that the recipient will open and read the email.
The integration of the Tell-A-Friend module into your newsletters is done via the input aids. You insert a link to the Tell-A-Friend setup and place the placeholder "[TAF-AREA /]" after the body tag in the HTML code as well as at the beginning of the text version. This fully sets up and activates the Tell-A-Friend function. For an optimal user experience, you can additionally set up your own dialog pages for various situations in the forwarding process.
