BOOSTING TRAFFIC WITH CONTESTS

Written by David Seitz

Contests are a great way to boost your traffic and helps with recommendations and repeat visits. I use several in my regular marketing for Associatesearch.com

One way I incorporate contests into boosting traffic is by a referral program I have. If you notice I have a small form on just about every page of my site that allows visitors to recommend their friends to our site. The program sends out an email describing repparttar site and a thank you to repparttar 125217 referrer. The program also sends me an email with both repparttar 125218 referrers and referrals email addresses. The program then writes both email addresses to a text database. At repparttar 125219 end of each month I take all repparttar 125220 email addresses from repparttar 125221 referral database and draw one out to win whatever it is I happen to be offering, many times it's advertising slots.

The great part about repparttar 125222 referral contest is that repparttar 125223 only way to be eligible for repparttar 125224 prize is to refer someone. As a greater incentive I offer one entry to both repparttar 125225 refer and referral. The response is always good and repparttar 125226 amount of personal referrals and word of mouth advertising I receive far outweigh repparttar 125227 cost of whatever it is I am offering.
