Key Features and Benefits Include:

Get Better Visibility in to What's Happening in Your Social Networks With New Tools
Infusionsoft has gone social by making it easy for customers to broadcast content to their social networks on Facebook and Twitter. In addition, customers can include sharing buttons in their emails and Web forms and trigger automated actions after a social snippet button is clicked. Users now have better visibility in to who is sharing and what type of content is being shared. Having this data helps them segment and target their sales and marketing efforts to their lists of prospects and customers much more effectively.  Key features allow users to:

• Broadcast hosted emails and Web forms through Facebook and Twitter. Users can create simple landing pages using the Drag & Drop Web Form Builder, publish them on Facebook and Twitter, and capture leads through social media without having to create full landing pages and custom URLs.
• Include a social snippet in their emails and Web forms that allow subscribers to "like" and/or "share" the content with their contacts on Facebook, Google+ and Twitter. The shared pages include a hosted Web form, giving customers a way to capture leads though social media.
• Trigger automated follow-up actions after a social snippet button is clicked. Users can track who is sharing content socially and what content is most popular. They can then follow up with the customers that share with targeted information.
• Measure and report on social media sharing activity. Infusionsoft provides a variety of reports to track opt-ins generated through social media as well as the number of times an email is shared and viewed.
