Make Your Email Marketing Viral And Tell A Friend
November 17th, 2008 by Nick
Email is one of the most viral forms of communication that businesses can access giving good email marketing a potential extra edge in its bid to drive traffic to your website. As well as appealing to the recipients of your email list, an email marketing message may well appeal to people that they know; friends, family and colleagues that aren't on your list.
HTML emails fortunately have the capability to add social buttons, such as tell a friend. The tell a friend button is really a very simple piece of HTML code that works like the forwards button in an email application. It allows the recipient to click the button, fill in an email address, and then send the same email to those addresses. It essentially sends your email marketing message to a small but often targeted list and has the advantage that the new recipient will be more inclined to read the content and trust what it says.
Tell a friend buttons offer a simple opportunity for readers to share their findings. Emails are often forwarded when they are found to contain some value or invoke some emotional response. Joke and humour emails are the most commonly forwarded emails but business, product, and service details are another category of popularly forwarded messages. Business to business email marketing can benefit greatly because recipients that have highlighted they are interested in a particular topic will usually know a number of colleagues that share the same business related interest.
