Fat Marketing Budgets and Fancy Advertising Still Not as Powerful as Word of Mouth Marketing

Tell-A-Pal launches free online referral service. Businesses and professionals that rely heavily on referrals now have an easy way to receive, manage, and reward referrals.

Mountain View, CA. (PRWEB) November 21, 2005 -- The average consumer today is bombarded by more than 1,000 marketing messages a day. For most businesses, it’s difficult to break through the noise and clutter to reach potential new customers. Tell-A-Pal (www.tellapal.com) is an online referral system based on a simple premise: for service oriented businesses and professionals, the greatest source of new customers are their existing customers. Tell-A-Pal makes it easy for them to reward their existing customers for referring new customers. It’s an innovative way to acquire new customers without spending a fortune on advertising or having to spend time and money developing a referral marketing program.

“It’s not rocket science. As a business or service professional, rewarding people you know and trust for sending you new customers is better than chasing leads and trying to get noticed in a crowded marketplace”, says Faisal Qureshi, Founder and CEO of Tell-A-Pal. “We use the internet to simplify referral marketing by making it easy to send and receive referrals online.”

The Tell-A-Pal model is simple. Businesses or service professionals sign up and offer a referral reward to their customers and other trusted contacts. They then receive referrals online from people they know and trust. If the referral becomes successful and results in a new customer, they send a referral reward to the person who sent the referral.
    
Realtors, mortgage brokers, insurance companies, and dentists are just a few of the many service oriented businesses or professionals that could use a service like Tell-A-Pal as a customer acquisition tool. The basic service is free, while access to more advanced tools are available for a monthly subscription fee.

Many internet companies are offering tools and services for online networking, but most are being used in a social context. Tell-A-Pal, however, uses online networking in a commercial context to help businesses and service professionals reach new customers through their existing customers. The service can reduce customer acquisition costs and the amount of money spent each year on wasted advertising.
