Here's a situation to think about:
You're browsing the web. You come across some content that really interests you. You see several familiar social media icons alongside that content. What do you do? Click on the icon to share the content on Facebook or Twitter, right?
By doing so, you're helping promote the website where you found the content. The social sharing icons gave you the idea to share the content and made it easy for you to do so, so you went along with it.
Now, wouldn't it be great if visitors could promote your website by sharing your content through social media? Of course it would. And that's why we have added a social sharing feature to our web infrastructure. We can now add social sharing icons for a wide array of social media (Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, etc.) to your website. We can add them to specific content areas to allow visitors to link directly to the content you want to promote (check out cooperandme.com for an example).
Again, these icons will encourage your visitors to share your content on their social profiles and make it easy for them to do so by taking out the extra steps of copying and pasting a link and navigating away from your site to their profiles. In other words, it streamlines the sharing process, making your visitors much more likely to share.
And once you get your audience talking about you on social sites, great things can happen. Not only will your brand reach a larger audience, but your products and services will as well. We can add social sharing to any content item: that means that your audience can share anything from your blog entries to your store items with their friends. The more people that see your content, the better—and the more likely that they will give you their business.
Contact us today if you’d like to add social sharing to your website. Again, it can be a powerful tool for business, and we’d recommend utilizing it.
