Those influencers aware of the hottest, most exciting events and products are not only able to purchase tickets through the
FriendTips website, but will make money in the process when they get their friends to follow their advice (courtesy of 10% back on every additional ticket sold).
FriendTips is the brainchild of Kosie van Niekerk who joined forces with digital marketing partner, Lumico, to create awareness about the platform. The site’s first promotion is proudly supported by Computicket, Sony Music and Select Music, among others.
Explains Daniel Malherbe, co-founder and director of Lumico: “It couldn’t be a simpler process. There are three easy steps to follow: register yourself on the official
FriendTips website and after registration you’ll receive a unique URL code that you can share with friends on social media. Once your friends use this link to purchase their tickets or products, you’ll receive a percentage cash back in your bank account.”
Cash back payments will be at the end of the month.
The first event promoted through
FriendTips is the highly popular Krone2 concert, taking place on Friday, 25 and Saturday, 26 July at Carnival City, where a who’s who list of artists will be performing, including Snotkop, Kurt Darren, Nicholis Louw, Ray Dylan, Heinz Winckler, Brendan Peyper, Adam Tas, Andriëtte, Liezel Pieters, Elizma Theron, Karlien van Jaarsveld and Andre Venter.
Adds Malherbe: “Although just launched, the response thus far has been phenomenal as it’s a complete win-win situation for consumers. Who wouldn’t want to make a bit of extra cash just by suggesting activities and products that they would have supported in any case?”
