This project was on my bucket list since long ago, I finally made it.
You can giveaway coupons or make up a deal to motivate users to share the project with their friends.
Is a simple widget that appears on the bottom-right corner of the screen, in mobile and desktop, and asks about your email and your friend's emails before sending you a coupon.
Problem: email validation, I did everything technically possible, but visitors could use [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] and it will work ...
Only solution is to let the owner approve/disapprove each referral process.
Haven't tried it yet in any live website so far, I think it could work great in ecommerce and online shop, but it still needs somet tweaks.
It's Free to use (with branding).
Here there are 3 perspectives:
A- Owner of the website and widget integrator
B- A visitor who decides to use the widget and share the product with their friends, by giving their emails to you
C- Those referred friends.
A- Owner of the website, can customize the email that will be sent to B and to C. You can use the emails to include a COUPON or anything you can think of or invent to make a good deal. All texts, colors and other details in the widget are configurable.
It's cool because I didnt did any private app, no login, when you signup you receive a link to the customizer. To start I hope it's enough.
B- Will include emails and will receive a coupon after all friends emails are validated ( valid format, not a disposable email, not a free email, not a email from a domain that doesn't exist). It's easy to make all referrals processes to be approved, or not send any coupon or deal until each of the friends have at least opened the email.
C- Each friend will receive the email that you can define previously. For example you can give B a 50% discount, C a 10% discount, if later C also recommends your product, maybe can get a 10+50% discount! Don't know up to you and your email.
This is more a pre-pre-launch, alpha version mvp to gather some feedback.
Let's see what happens with RefBoost.
