#65 Consolidate & promote your social media with apps like extendr & card.ly by using as links in email signatures, website or other networks

One of the best aspects of social media is the sheer amount of options you have. But, at the same time, it can also be the most overwhelming. How can you promote your Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, blog, etc. all in one place? Should you? I’ve found that our clients and friends want to connect with us in various ways, but was having trouble finding a good way to consolidate our web footprint.

That is when we found Joseph Rueter’s extendr product. We have used extendr as a corporate wide email signature promoting our social media footprint and other sites. It has been great to give clients access to all of our networks in one simple spot. (We also have a version just for our websites.) Another interesting idea is the online business card. I have not used it as much yet, but check out card.ly. Although it seems a little limited right now, it’s a nice, simple set up. We put a quick one together here.

So if you want to simplify your promotion of the various sites you are on and have a more robust email signature, consider using something like extendr and card.ly to make that easier. Any other options out there? How do you promote your sites now?

  1. Cheers to you R29!

    We’ve also seen an interesting development of recent where people are using .extendr for interactive resumes. Check one here http://rheajoconnor.extendr.com/ or http://www.susan.extendr.com/

    Another idea we’ve seen is to create unique pages for single audiences. Agencies are using the tour function to walk clients through a guided experience on the web. Just use the big arrow in the upper left to nav to the next page. No need to type anything in.

    Others are playing off the resume idea and making pages specific for interviews. Kinda cool: http://erintoflightpath.extendr.com/

    Anyway, Cheers and thanks for the shout!
