Optimising Your Social Media Profile with IFTTT
The power of social media to carry a marketing message is now being harnessed by businesses around the globe. From Facebook pages to Twitter feeds and many more specialised applications, social media networks are changing the definition of “word of mouth” as prospective clients are made aware of new products and service providers through a whole new marketing channel.
With the variety of social media platforms on the internet and the time needed to create and monitor a company footprint online, many business owners are too busy to fully explore the potential of this powerful tool.
By addressing this need with online blog content, Alfalfa strives to make the internet marketing experience simple and effective. With the added benefit of social media marketing, every business can look forward to its marketing message reaching new and untapped markets.
While our internet marketing services make life that much easier for business owners, a new and exciting application, IFTTT was recently launched on the internet. This innovative product will take your social media marketing campaign to the next level, as you join people and businesses around the world who are using IFTTT to their advantage. Here is how:
IFTTT (If This Then That) is based on a simple idea: by setting up links between your various social media and website accounts (Facebook, Twitter, Email, Instagram and many more) you can make these applications interact with each other to bring out the best in each one!
By using IFTTT, you can set up your Facebook account to automatically update when you tweet or are re-tweeted. You can receive weather updates by email as they become available, or set up your dropbox account to save files automatically.
Once a change takes place on any of your accounts (for example when you tweet), IFTTT will automatically make a change to your other accounts according to your specifications. These changes, known as triggers, may be taking up valuable moments of your day as you monitor your social media accounts, but with IFTTT all the hard work is done for you!
