New Widget Boosts Online Word of Mouth: Spreadable

The fun folks at Grasshopper Group are out to solve problems for startups, small businesses and entrepreneurs—one widget/service at a time.

The latest:  How to make it simple for your raving fans to refer others to your business?  Use Spreadable’s Tell a Friend Widget.  You can add the customized widget to your website and emails.  The Spreadable Widget is easier than many other sharing tools.  No need to login in to Twitter or other social media site.  Your raving fan customers can just enter emails on a pop-up screen and tell their friends about your products!

I did a test-drive of Spreadable’s widget setup.  It is very easy to setup even for non-techies like me.

Here is a short interview with Jaco Joubert, Co-Founder of Guestlist and happy Spreadable customer.   Guestlist provides tools for online event registration and ticket sales specifically designed for small to medium sized events.

Q. What do you like best about using Spreadable as a tool to generate word of mouth referrals?

Not having to build it ourselves is by far the best benefit. Every product should have a referral program, but building it distracts us from improving the product. Enter Spreadable. It is very easy to set up and get going.

Design is very important at Guestlist and with Spreadable we could customize the look and feel so nobody would ever know that we are using a 3rd party service.

Q.  How has using Spreadable helped Guestlist increase word of mouth marketing?

We get a lot of visitors to our website which may not be able to use our product. Spreadable allows us to “convert” those customers by letting them refer friends who can use our product.

Q. Would you recommend Spreadable to small businesses looking for tools to make it easier for their customers to recommend them online?

There is no reason not to try Spreadable. With the features being planned Spreadable will soon be the only solution you need to run your entire referral program.

GuestList is a startup with great customer testimonials.  Check them out here.
