Have you seen the latest Viral campaign, I love the way the way they use

shock tactics.

Hi Tia,


at Refresh (http://www.refreshmagazine.com), a site that we manage, we

ran a

viral add-on to our recent competition for videos of The Sixth Sense.

Entrants to the competition were given 1 extra entry per friend they

told

about the competition. Each friend was then sent a brief email (with the

referrer's name in the 'from:' field) with an invitation to visit the

competition. A dead simple system.


Result: 7 times the average number of entries for the competition -

enough

said!


You can see the system in action at

Hope that helps.


Jonathan
