Social media plugin advise needed

[rudolfl]

Hi all,

Need an advice here -- I want people to talk about my products on Facebook and other platforms. Facebook is main one I am interested in now.

I already enabled social bookmarks, but this is not enough.

 

I want to interest customers in sharing. One way is to offer them discount if they do. Two scenarios:

1. Once their order is placed, ask them to share their purchase. If they do, i want picture of product to be placed on their Facebook page together with URL and customer is to get discount coupon (I already have gift voucher/coupon add-on installed). This way I get free advertising and customer will be back to re-deem the voucher.

 

2. Ask customer to share the product they like. If they do, they will get a coupon to re-deem in the next 24hr or so.

 

So, there are few questions:

1. Is there an add-on that will do what I propose (or something similar to it)?

2. Any other ideas on how to engage customers in sharing the product?

 

Thanks,

Rudolf

I don't believe there is anything currently available to do what you want. It would be a new contribution or custom coding project.

OK, I think i figured it out.

Facebook has "plugin" for LIKE button and SEND button (LIKE button may combine with SEND one if required).

Here is a link for SEND button:

https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/send/

Basically, when set up in XFBML mode, there is a way to subscribe to event (user clicked on it), send parameters and receive them when user uses link posted on FB to get back to your site.
