3 Super Simple Ways to Use Tell-A-Friend to Build Your List Fast
By Alicia Forest


Web Design Manchester
Starting off in business is always a struggle. You want to be recognised as quickly as possible so that sales can quickly take an upward spiral. Making your presence felt isn`t always that easy though and a great place to start will be your company`s website. As a startup business you need to get a foothold online and create a site that stands out from the rest. Based in Manchester you want to reach out to far-flung corners of the globe and embrace new customers from around the world. Help with Web Design Manchester can be acquired through a leading web and graphic designer who is based within the region. This might sound expensive but in reality it isn`t because the Web Design Manchester comes at a very affordable price. Ask the North West designer to provide you with a quote for you new site and you could be surprised at the price that is given. You can specify how simple you want the site to be but as a rule a 3-5 pages website will be a decent size for a new business venture. Once you are online you can promote your services and goods and as your business starts to blossom you can request that the Web Design Manchester be updated.

Everyone prefers getting a recommendation for a product or a service. It means they don`t have to do the research themselves, or find out whether or not it`s for them through trial and error, shouldering all the risk. For example, if you`re looking for a good dentist, you`re more likely to ask someone you know and trust who they go to before you`ll look one up online or in the yellow pages, right?

The same goes for your business. And you`ll get HIGHER QUALITY clients and customers through referrals than any other method. So here are three super simple ways for you to help your current clients and customers tell others about you using the Tell-A-Friend strategy.

1. Simply add a sentence or two to the bottom of each issue of your ezine or any other freebie offering (pink spoon) you have. Something like:

We grow by recommendation! If you enjoyed this issue, we`d love it if you`d pass the word. Do so by forwarding this to a friend and inviting them to subscribe at the link (above/below).

You can embellish or simplify this according to your personality. See my own wording at the bottom of this ezine.

2. Put a Tell-A-Friend (TAF) feature on your sign-up thank you page.

A formal Tell-A-Friend software can help you make it super simple for people to tell a friend about you and your product or service. Some shopping cart systems and web hosts offer this feature, so be sure to check yours and start utilizing it now to help build your list.

If your current vendors don`t offer this feature, I highly recommend TAFPro for this. This software has a one-time only fee (it`s inexpensive), plus a very reasonable installation charge if you need help from the very customer service friendly Paul Galloway, the owner.

To see an example of this in action, visit my `thank you` page for signing up for this ezine at:

Just so you know, though, TAFPro doesn`t work with websites that are hosted with GoDaddy.com. As an alternate for GoDaddy.com users, you can try Will Master Craig`s CGI script at:

http://willmaster.com/master/recommendpro/index.shtml

If you don`t already have technical support of your own, Will Master will install it for you. I haven`t used his script myself, so you might want to ask around about it a bit first.

(3) Having installed a Tell-A-Friend module, use it to implement a contest with prizes.

Using any of the Tell-A-Friend module, you can easily take the next step and use the contest management feature in the software and create a contest page to send out to your existing subscriber list. To see an example of what I mean, visit:

(note: this contest is NOT running - at least not yet... :) It`s just an example.)

Obviously, you`ll want to tailor this page to your own needs and brand but it should give you an idea of how the Tell-A-Friend module can really encourage people to point others in your direction.

Referrals are usually more qualified prospects for your funnel, which is exactly what you want. Pick one of the techniques of using the Tell-A-Friend module and implement it in your business today.
