Hello,

Im about to re-launch my website and I began to wonder about the impact of social networking on marketing efforts. I plan to implement the FB Like button, Tweet button and the follow button. Also a FB fan page.

 

Are you using any of those? If so please share your success story.

 

Thanks

Tweet and FB are good for seo and website ads, as more links you get better more customer you can get

Please read this line: Do you want to find all the answers to your questions? click here. As for contribution database it's located here!

8 people out of 10 don't bother to read installation manuals. I can recommend: if you can't read the installation manual, don't bother to install any contribution yourself.

Before installing contribution or editing/updating/deleting any files, do the full backup, it will save to you & everyone here on the forum time to fix your issues.

Any issues with oscommerce, I am here to help you.

Thanks for your reply. I have a fan page on Facebook that I want to use for special offers. I see people ask administrators to tag them in pictures.

 

That practice will help a website go viral fast. The key would be to attract consumers with a 1000+ friends or followers and get them to Like and Tweet products. Has anyone measured the impact of these practices?

Facebook definitely helps me with people both finding my site AND making purchases.

You can make a fan page for your business/website then "suggest" it to all your friends and they can "like" it if they want...everything anyone does is posted in their timeline...so if someone sees their friend "liked" a new page maybe they will go to that page to see what it is and maybe "like" it as well...

I have to say that Facebook and Twitter and now the Google +1 button brings people to the site...definitely.

Getting people to like your page is the uphill battle. Once 1 person likes a page on your website OR a few people like a few pages, the viral effect begins. I yet have to get a like, tweet or +1. The product pages and website are set up so visitors can add content to the pages.

 

@@broadstreetbully How did it start with you?

I actually had my sites up for about a year before I started to really use social networking to gain customers/sales.

My business is kind of niche so there aren't as many competitors as there is with say electronics or clothing so I've been very lucky as far as sales go.

but once I did set up my Facebook/Twitter/Tumblr/Flickr it just kind of took off...

 

What really helps with getting 'likes' and 'followers'-for me at least-is I have a blog set up under the same domain...Wordpress...and I auto-publish all my new posts to Facebook, Twitter and Tumblr...once people start seeing that they go to the blog which has ads & links to the ecommerce site...

 

with Facebook I have a personal account and a business/fan page but I kind of use my personal page for the business too...I just added the website's name as my middle name so people know who it is...and I send out those page suggestions about once a month...the only downside is I accept most friend requests so I have to deal with some goofy posts but the more friends you have the more possible likes you can get...and the more people who like my site have a bunch of friends who will see that they 'like' my page and usually they'll 'like' it too...lol...some people just "like" everything they come across...

 

having the "follow us/like us" buttons on the front page AND under each product works out good too...but I get way more likes on the front page than I do for the products....if you wanna check it out my site is http://www.illadelstylez.com/graffiti_shop

you'll see what I mean with the front page buttos and the product info buttons...
