If you like Vouchforthis and think that it could help others in your network of friends and business associates, then we would be delighted for you to spread the word to them and encourage them to join too. As well as helping us and your friends, increasing the general awareness of Vouchforthis will improve the credibility of your own testimonials – the more recognised the “Vouched-For” badge becomes, the more your website visitors will appreciate the validity of your testimonials.
In addition to these intangible benefits, we would like to reward you personally for spreading the word. Our referrer / introducer scheme will pay you £5 for every new paying member that you bring to Vouchforthis. You can bring us to the attention of your visitors / network / friends / database of contacts in a number of ways :
- By including one or more banner adverts on your website or blog
- By mentioning us in emails that you send
- By asking your colleagues to enter your referrer code when registering
How does the Referral Scheme work?
- When you join Vouchforthis we will automatically create a unique referrer code for you
- You can include this referrer code as a parameter in any of the following images that you place on your website or blog, or in any emails that you send. You can also just give your referrer code to your colleagues and ask them to enter it when they register with us
- When visitors click through to our website, we will immediately track this referrer code, associate it with you, and then credit your Vouchforthis account with £5 whenever any of your referrals joins and pays
- Once your account credit reaches £25 you can choose to have that amount paid to you. Alternatively, you can use your balance to pay all or part of your annual Vouchforthis subscription when it becomes due
- You can see your referrer code and account balance at any time by logging in and going to the My Account page

Option 2 – Send emails to your contacts
Why not send an invitation out to your contacts, recommending that they join vouchforthis? Sending a short email to your contacts, recommending Vouchforthis and including a link to vouchforthis that includes your referrer code, could be a great way for you to introduce your friends and colleagues to the website. If you would like to do this please make sure that the link to vouchforthis is formatted as follows…
http://www.vouchforthis.com?refid=xxxxxxx (where xxxxxx should be replaced with your referrer code)
If you are unsure about how to do this, or if you want us to check it before you send your emails out, please get in touch with us.
Option 3 – Pass your referrer code on to your contacts
When new members join vouchforthis they have the option of entering the referrer code of the person who recommended the site to them. When the new member pays their subscription, the Vouchforthis account belonging to the referring member will be credited with £5. This method might be useful if you have personal contact with your contacts, for example at networking events.
Why not use a combination of these options to really get the message out? Why not add a link to us, including your referrer code, to your email signature? If you would like any help with your efforts, please don’t hesitate to get in touch!
