Viral and social marketing viral-and-social-marketing
ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓƵ Campaign lets you set up tools to encourage viral marketing.
This lets delivery recipients or website visitors share information with their network: from adding a link to their Facebook or X (formerly known as Twitter) profile to sending a message to a friend.
Social networks: sharing a link social-networks--sharing-a-link
To enable delivery recipients to share the content of messages with members of their network, you need to include the matching personalization block.
Rendering will be as follows:
When the recipient clicks the icon of one of the social networks displayed, they are automatically redirected to their account and can share the message content via a link. This lets the members of their network access the communication.
Viral marketing: forward to a friend viral-marketing--forward-to-a-friend
A viral service allows referral-type actions to be carried out: these actions enable you to forward a message to a friend. The profile of the referee(s) is stored temporarily in the database (in a dedicated table). Forwarded messages include a link for the referee to subscribe: if they do, they will be added to the ÃÛ¶¹ÊÓƵ Campaign database.
Message forwarding is based on the same principles as social network links.
Apply the following stages:
-
Add the Social network sharing links personalization block into the body of the original message.
-
The message recipient can click the Email icon to send this message to one or more friends.
A referral form enables you to enter the email addresses of referees.
The message is sent to them when the main recipient clicks the Next button.
note note NOTE The content of this message can be personalized to meet your needs. It is created based on the Transfer of original message template, which is stored in the Administration > Campaign management > Technical delivery templates node. It is also possible to change the message forward form made available to the referrer To do this, you need to change the Viral form Web application stored in the Resources > Online > Web applications node. -
In the forwarded message, a link lets the referee save their profile in the database. An entry form is provided for this purpose.
note note NOTE This configuration can be adapted. To do this, you need to modify the Recipient subscription Web application stored in the Resources > Online > Web applications node. For more information on Web applications, refer to this section. Once they validate, a confirmation message is sent to them: they will only be registered for good once they activate the link in the confirmation message. This message is created based on the Registration confirmation template, which is stored in the Administration > Campaign management > Technical delivery templates node.
The referee is added to the Recipients folder of the database and is subscribed (by default) to the Newsletter information service.
