Viral marketing for your spa
February 28th, 2007 • Posted by Bill Bice • Permalink
We've just added two great new features to Dynamic Spa Websites to make it easy for word-of-mouth to spread about your spa.
Spa Wish List
Sometimes it takes a little nudge, and the Spa Wish List is the perfect way for your clients to drop a little hint to that someone special that what they really want is the gift of spa.
- Go to Setup, Website and then Settings and check "Spa Wish List" to turn it on.
- That will add "Buy" and "Wish" buttons to your services menu. "Buy" takes your visitor to Instant Gift Certificates, and "Wish" adds the service to their Spa Wish List.
- Your Spa Wish List will automatically appear in the sidebar of your website. Customize "Spa Wish List" in Events.
- Try it out! Send yourself a email to see what it's like; you change the "Wish List" email in Email Marketing. But, be careful: it's the tags like "{wish_list}" within the email that make it work. If you leave those in place, it's easy to change or add text.
Share With a Friend
The key to great viral marketing is making it easy to share. Once someone has found your website, we them to tell their friends!
- Turn on Share With a Friend the same way, in Setup, Website and then Settings.
- You can also customize "Share With a Friend" in Events and Email Marketing.
Tips
- If you make changes to the events or emails, it's a great idea to try out on your website and send a test email to yourself. Make sure you're getting the result you want!
- You can add Spa Wish List and/or Share With a Friend to your main navigation, if you desire. In Setup, Website, click on the little signpost icon to change your main menu. Click the "Add Link / Page" task, and then select the "spa-wish-list" or "spa-share-with-a-friend" page. After you save, use the little green arrows to rearrange your menu.
