Email to a Friend Button

Concept

The Email to a Friend button allows online visitors to easily share a particular record with others. The visitor on your site can share the record along with a personalized message. This information is emailed so the recipient can view that specific record as well as explore the rest of your site.  This is a great way of having users help promote your site.

By default, the Email to a Friend button is displayed in the upper right corner of each catalog record page and can be suppressed at the Interface Management Site.
