Friend Recommendation

Our Friend Recommendation Scheme is a great way of you reducing your shopping bills. We give you the tools to spread the word to our friends by email, facebook, twitter or blogs.

How it works - We give you a unquie link that you distribute via what ever means you wish, you can use a template email form on the Recommend Us tab or Via the Social Tab that gives you your unqiue link for facebook, twitter, blogs...

Anyone who clicks your link and registers is then stored in our database as a customer who has been refered by you. Once they are registered they appear on your Approved Friends list. The Approved Freind list is  where you can see what the status is of referral friends. It shows you who has still to register, who's registered and who's made a purchase.

The following is a quick guide to managing this new service.
