January 23, 2012 Special offers can be downright irresistible when crafted strategically, especially for customers who are trying out your products and services for the first time. Everyone wants to feel like a smart consumer acting on a good deal. Creating a special offer or coupon can bring you floods of new customers and sales in a very short amount of time.
Introducing Social Marketing: An Easy-to-Use Tool to Kickstart Social Sharing on Your WordPress Site
Social Marketing is a new plugin we’ve created to help you extend your sales influence far beyond your own followers/subscribers. The plugin requires a user to share your special offer via Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, or Google+ in order to unlock a coupon, discount code, download or other incentive. It allows you to put the power of social networking to work for you to spread the news of your products and services.
Social Marketing is also ridiculously easy to use – it doesn’t require a marketing or WordPress specialist by any means. You can create viral ads within minutes in three easy steps:
1. Follow the easy setup wizard to configure your settings.
Social Marketing makes extensive use of WordPress’ new tooltips in order to guide you through each step in setting up your first ad.
2. Create your Social Marketing Advert.
3. Insert your ad into any page or post.
Any time you want to include an ad you’ve created within your content, simply click on the social marketing icon within the post editor to embed your ad:
Social Marketing Features:
- Create any combination of social sharing options, including Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, or Google+
- Uses custom post types – no extra tables in database!
- Included wizard provides a step-by-step guide to creating your ads
- 4 unique pre-configured styling options
- Enable or disable any of the sharing services on individual ads
- Ability to disable styling and create your own custom ad design
Social Marketing is especially powerful when offering a freebie or just for the sake of getting the word out about your current sale or special discount. Any time you want to offer a download or promotion, get the Social Marketing plugin working for you to spark greater interest around the web.
We’re very excited about this new plugin because it contains a number of usability improvements that we’ll be bringing into all of our popular plugins and new releases. We listened to our customers and will be delivering more plugins that simply work without you having to spend time digging through installation instructions. Before you hire SEO experts and marketing wizards to create more interest in your products, give organic social media sharing a try. You’ll be surprised by how much traffic your social media campaign will generate for your products. Download the Social Marketing plugin from WPMU DEV today!

Looking forward to using this one.
Could we somehow set this up on a subdomain WP install, and then display the social adverts on the main domain which currently doesn’t use WP but a SaaS CMS system?
Seems good, i will give a try on this
awesome
