First of all, Happy New Year! I hope everyone is off to a great start to the New Year! I want to wish you health, happiness and prosperity for the coming year to you and your family.
We have a lot of exciting improvements here at Storeboard. First, thanks to you we are now ranked 18,500 in the world by Alexa.com in terms of website traffic. This is an amazing accomplishment. You may have already noticed that your profiles, images, videos, blogs, coupons, and products are getter more views than ever. Continue to improve your profiles and add popular media!
Here are some of the recent improvements to Storeboard:
1. You can now share your media and status updates on 4 sites at one time once you have authorized your Twitter, Facebook, and LinkedIn accounts. This is a free service and should help you get your sharing done faster. You don’t need to be logged onto to the other sites when you share. We will be adding additional sites to PowerShare. The ones we are working on now are Digg! and MySpace.
2. You can now attach a URL to your Product to lead the Viewer to a checkout page or your website. This is great if you market products as an affiliate which is becoming more common these days. This allows you to market products from a multitude of vendors and earn commissions with no outlay of money whatsoever. You can use Storeboard for free to promote your products, share your products on over 300 social sites and send people right to the check out page. Or, if you maintain your own website, send them right there!
3. You now have a lot more sharing options on Storeboard.com. For example, you can decide whether you want to share on Storeboard’s Board or just post to your own Board. You can share posts with Storeboard Members directly or on their Board. You can send direct messages to other Members when viewing their media. You can Re-post Board Posts you like with just a click of a button. Below Board posts, you will see many of these new options. Check them out!
Here’s what to look for in 2012:
1. Storeboard will start to become more local and searchable! - We will be working diligently to make the site more useable as a search directory. We will provide more of a local look to the dashboard focusing on local businesses, news, and events but still allow you to see the big picture.
2. Storeboard will get faster! - We are going to be upgrading our server capacity to better serve our Members. This will take place by the end of this week and will hopefully go off without a hitch!
3. You Will Be Able To Schedule Your Posts. You will have the ability to schedule when you want to share your posts and we will be adding more sites to our PowerShare feature.
4. Storeboard Will Establish Itself As The Leader in Social Media for Business! - Make no mistake about it – we are determined to be the leader in social media for small businesses. We don’t want you spending a lot of money on directory advertising, print advertising, pay per click and other forms of advertising. We are determined to bring down the cost of promoting a business on the Internet using social media and creating a better directory for consumers.
