Voki Refer a Friend

With summer vacation over and the weather starting to cool off, it’s the start of a new school year for many students and teachers. Whether you are still in school, still on vacation, or just started the new school year, there’s always a reason to celebrate!

To kick start this celebration, we are starting Voki Refer a Friend! For every friend you refer, you get 2 months of Voki Classroom! Let’s see the details below!

How this works:

  1. As an existing Voki Classroom subscriber, you can refer a friend to sign up for the 15-Day Free Trial of Voki Classroom.
  2. If the person you referred decides to keep using Voki Classroom after their 15 Day Free Trial, you should email feedback@voki.com with your Voki Classroom email and the email of the person who you referred! We will then add 2 BONUS months of Voki Classroom to your account to say “Thanks”!

Let’s take advantage of this! Voki Refer a Friend ends on Halloween (October 31, 2012)!

Good luck to everyone and here’s to a great start to the new school year!

Until next time,

The Voki Team
