Promoting referrals on your homepage can account for up to 60% of new sign-ups. Most homepage promotion methods require a landing page where customers can register and share the referral offer.
1. Site Header (Link to Landing Page)
A dedicated banner below the site header is one of the easiest options. Add a link or CTA to the landing page, and enable it on other pages across your website.
If you’re running A/B tests, avoid specifying the reward in the copy. Use a generic message like “Earn rewards by sharing with friends”.
To track performance, append a situation parameter:
www.example.com/refer-a-friend?situation=homepage_header_promo
For multiple campaigns with different segments or locales, add those parameters too:
www.example.com/refer-a-friend?situation=homepage_banner_promo&segment=VIP&locale=en_US
2. Homepage Tile (Link to Landing Page)
No new tag required — just append a situation parameter to the landing page link:
www.example.com/refer-a-friend?situation=homepage_banner_promo
3. Homepage Corner Peel
The corner peel is easy to implement and shows a referral overlay when clicked. It requires only a tag.
This option isn’t ideal if you have multiple campaigns triggered by segments.
- Replace
PARTNERCODE with your Mention Me partner code (found in your dashboard)
- Mention Me will create an injection point of type “Corner Peel Overlay” and situation
homepage_banner_link
Add this script to your homepage:
<script type="text/javascript" src="https://tag-demo.mention-me.com/api/v2/referreroffer/PARTNERCODE?situation=homepage_banner_cornerpeel&implementation=overlay&locale=<INSERT_LOCALE>"></script>
4. Link to Overlay
Shows the referral overlay when clicked, letting customers register without leaving the homepage. You can customise the link to look like a button, incorporate it with a banner, image, or any other element.
To implement:
- Create an empty div with the ID
mmWrapper:
<!-- Begin Mention Me referrer placeholder div -->
<div id="mmWrapper"></div>
<!-- End Mention Me referrer placeholder div -->
- Add the tag:
<!-- Begin Mention Me referrer integration -->
<script type="text/javascript" src="https://tag.mention-me.com/api/v2/referreroffer/PARTNERCODE?situation=homepage_banner_link&implementation=link"></script>
<!-- End Mention Me referrer integration -->
We’ll customise the link style to match your site. The CTA will display the overlay when clicked.
