Examples of forms that can be created include:

• Newsletter sign-up
• Profile pages
• Viral and ‘email a friend’
• Surveys
• Competition entries
• Event registration forms
• Personalised landing pages (PURL’s)

Data submitted from these forms are stored in your chosen Maxemail list, while Maxemail can also be used to pre-populate the form.

Upon submission of a form, emails can be triggered to both the customer and the administrator, with customers receiving a thank you message and the administrator receiving the details submitted in the form.

The traditional email a friend has a few flaws, namely that it is always easier to hit forward in your email client than actually finding your friends addresses and copying and pasting them into the form you have provided. Secondly many people don’t have their friend’s addresses anymore and prefer to communicate via the likes of Facebook.

A better approach is to add a share button to the bottom of you email, like the “Add This” button you can find at the bottom of this page. Your customers can then share your email with their friends via the social network of their choice. Whether it be Facebook, twitter or anything else.

Then their friends can choose to add it to their news feed, re-tweet or whatever the appropriate terminology is for each social network, creating true viral activity. Already there are a number of brands generating significant sums of revenue from this technique.
