Reach out to the maximum number of
People & Entice them to register on
your website

10. Key to Running a sustained,
successful Invitation Campaign

11. Invite but don't SPAM !
●
Its great to have an awesome invitation tool that lets users
send out Invitations to friends or even have the system send
out completely hands free automated invites based on
analysis. But that does not give you the right to SPAM !
●
Invitex includes inbuilt unsubscribe functionality which will let
the Invitee Opt out of getting future invitations or reminders
from your site
●
Be Decent & Keep the Unsubscribe link intact in your
Invitation emails. People always appreciate that !
●
The Admin also has control to Add people in the UnSubscribe
list in the backend

12. Restrict sending Invitation to
unsubscribed Emails
●
Invitex filters out the Emails of the people who do not wish to
receive any more invitation emails from the site during import
process

13. Use Scarcity to go Viral
When something is scarce, it generates a need. Everyone wants it
! Gmail used this strategy with great success when it launched.
You couldn't get in & Invitations were really hard to get.
Use Invitex to take your Joomla to take your app viral !
●
Optionally Lock down your site to be Invite Only
●
Globally Limit number of Invitations people can send.
Manually control invitation limits on a per user level.
●
Restrict Invitations to a specific set of domains only if you run
a closed site group
●
Set Invitation Expiry to expire the Invite after X days.

14. Push/Reward your users to Invite
Your current site users can be a great asset to help you
promote your site. You should not force them of course, but a
little nudge in the right direction, with a little bit of incentive
can reap great rewards !
Invitex comes in built with tools for this !
●
Ability to Force Invitation During Registration (Can be skipped)
●
Ability to Force Invitation on Login (Can be skipped)
●
Reward Points for Sending Invites & successful conversions

Techjoomla using the Invitations tool” with
●
Activity Stream Integrations for CB, JomWall & JomSocial
(coming in v2.8)

Facebook,Twitter & LinkedIn with Broadcast Integration
(coming in v2.8)

●
“Parth is waiting for you to Accept his Invitation to LinkedIn”
Sounds Familiar ?

remind the User that your site exists & that someone has
invited him. Send a reminder & personalize it too !
●
“ Parth, Ashwin, Vaishali & Aniket are waiting for you on
Linkedin” More the Merrier !
