I purchased a life-time membership several years ago. Previously, though I did recruit family members to Phanfare, the referral perk of "free phanfare time" was useless to me. This program actually adds incentive for me to refer people.

However, 2 of the features which were big selling points for me and made me rave the most about the product to friends and family originally were (a) a lifetime membership option (now absent) and (b) the ability to share my photos with family without making them have a log-in -- now that is back after an extended hiatus, but it is hard to win back their (and my) original enthusiasm.

You can add alternate addresses to your Phanfare account. That's what I did because I don't want to give out my primary e-mail when I'm shilling for Phanfare. Here's the link to change that setting: http://www.phanfare.com/settin...

We will work on also offering a referral code. you really want both. if your friend navigates to phanfare, all they are going to know is your email. but if they are following a link, then you want to be able to embed the code, and for that, you don't want it to be your email.

I use a few different email addresses for different purposes and would love the capability of posting a link to my fb page, twitter, website or even email messages that would directly send customers to phanfare giving me the credit for the referral, instead of relying on them to use the same email address as I use to log into Phanfare.

Thanks so much for bringing back the unlimited storage plans! This was a huge selling point for me when I recommended Phanfare to potential customers (which I did often, and several of them are now customers).

Why don't you offer this functionality on the site rather than having us depend upon the person we're referring enter our email address. Seems like a very lame method of referral. You should provide a form for us to enter our referral emails into and you send an invite... or at least give us a custom url to send to friends so that we get the referral.

Have a look at how DropBox does theirs... they do a good job of it.
