Emulate Teemplay’s success – here are some best practices for network outreach:

1. Determine who your current customers are and create compelling rewards for them – they already like your product and can be your biggest supporters.

2. Compile a list of friends, family, and members of your network. Avoid spamming everyone in your network, but compile the largest list possible of people who may support your cause.
