Alibre Launches Refer-A-Friend Program

The program is unique in that it also offers discounts on the purchase of Alibre Design to those who have been referred.

For each referral that purchases Alibre Design 6.0, the referrer may choose either $50 or a free month of maintenance, or, when Alibre Design Professional is purchased, $100 or two months of maintenance. In addition, those being referred also receive either $50 off the price of Alibre Design, or $100 off the price of Alibre Design Professional. There is no limit on the number of referrals or awards a customer may earn.

The program is Web-based; customers can simply sign into the Alibre Web site and start taking advantage of the program immediately. In addition, customers can track the status of all their referrals online. The system makes it easy to see which referrals have responded to the offer and how much money or additional maintenance has been earned. Additional details are available at http://www.alibre.com/programs/referral/.

"We started the Refer-A-Friend program after watching word-of-mouth referrals become one of our largest sources of new customers," said J. Paul Grayson, Alibre president and CEO. "When a satisfied customer refers Alibre Design to someone else the likelihood of that person becoming a customer is extremely high. Clearly our product and world-class support are the primary reasons for our high percentage of referrals, but a little encouragement never hurts. Plus, we just wanted to say thanks to our most loyal customers."

Alibre redefines professional 3D CAD with Alibre Design, the low-cost application for 3D parametric solid modeling. Alibre Design lets designers, engineers and their associates create 3D models and 2D associative drawings standalone, or together over the Web, using its integrated online tools to share and edit precise product designs in real time. These tools also allow for advanced support and training directly from the online Alibre Assistant. The application's support for open data standards such as STEP improves data exchange with existing CAD systems. Founded in 1997, Alibre Inc. is privately funded and based in Richardson, Texas.
