How to get started

Preparing your International Friendship Day campaign is quick and easy. Here's how to do it.

1. Run a special incentive

Motivate your customers to refer friends with offers such as:

  • Promotional gifts
  • Exclusive discounts
  • Charity donations

You can even combine incentives to create offers even more likely to get people talking.

2. Update copy & design

Use imagery and language that remind customers of their friends. For example: 

  • 'Share what you love'
  • 'We're stronger together'
  • 'Treat your bestie'

Our design studio can help make these updates. 

3. Extend Promotion

International Friendship Day may only last 24 hours, but your promotion doesn't need to. We recommend running your campaign for at least 7 days. For even better results, consider a fortnight or entire month. 

4. Get our lookbook

We've created a lookbook bursting with copy, design and incentive examples to inspire your International Friendship Day campaign. Our team is also on hand to provide ideas and recommendations. For even more ideas, watch our webinar.
