How to Use Social Deals Sites to Help Sales

Jan 25, 2010 by Greg Finn | Business, E-commerce, Social Media Marketing

One of our biggest mantras here at 10e20 is to test out various social media outlets for clients and find what work, regardless whether or not it’s currently a “hot topic.” Believe it or not, social media is more than just Facebook and Twitter, and one of my favorite sectors (for buying unwanted gadgets) is community deals sites. A week or so I posted over at Search Engine Land about how to use these deals sites to help your business. I broke down how you can use this to help your sales and talked about the following items:

Don’t be too promotional
Make sure the deal is easy to see from the submission
Offer affiliate commission
Use coupon codes
Have a really good sale

If you want to read more (with full details), head on over and read the full post!

I haven't had too much luck with promoting on social deal sites. Most of the time my posts seem to get flagged as spam, but it's probably something to do with the pharmaceutical related products I am promoting
