1. “Find Us” Block

The “like” block, pretty much like in Facebook, allows you to see who are enjoying your contents. Though it is not a vital aspect that you have to consider when creating your social media strategy, it is a bonus especially when you see that your subscribers are interested in your content.

4. “Comments” Block

The “comments” block is important. It encourages your subscribers to connect and share with other subscribers and of course, it is another platform for you to interact with your customers. This block is important because it gives you the necessary feedback that you would need from your client!

Better Customer Response Through Rewards

 It is a fact that people respond more when rewards are involved. Incorporating this psychology-law to business, when you want your subscribers to be more active you have to give them some sort of award.

A classic example would be asking them to promote your site to their friends, whether it would be through sharing or asking them to like your page, in exchange for discounts or a chance to win a gadget.  But keep in mind that it doesn’t always have to be a discount or a prize, it can actually even be a simple recognition! It’s up to you and how creative you are at coming up with strategies on how to lure your customers to share your contents.
