So as a marketer it’s important to play toward the social side of marketing – make it easy for your recipients to post content on their social media profile, recommend purchases to their friends and family. Consider the same for your product review, a simple forward feature to pass along what you wrote to your closest contacts. This strategy combines current trends while helping you reach to the recipient’s immediate contacts. Also consider a friends/ family viral campaign to help your recipients get use to the idea of sharing your content with others and never forget great customer service… that’s the best way to get the endorsement.
