Social Network Integration

Social networks offer businesses numerous ways to influence users and to communicate messages. Marketing your business through social media can be an ideal way to encourage brand-engagement.

Embitel Mobility has successfully integrated social networks in apps:

• LinkedIn, Facebook, and Twitter integration with apps
• Integration of profile picture, updates, etc.

Benefits of Social Media Integration:

• Expanding your business network – Social media connections are often the first to see the latest news about your products or services and have an ability to easily share that information with their network of friends. This helps with indirect and rapid promotion of your business, brand, products, and services across a wide audience.
• Enhanced credibility – Social networks can help enhance the credibility of a business. If someone notices that a friend or other trusted person in their network has mentioned your company in a positive light, they are more likely to trust and use your product or service.
• Improved sales – Several surveys and statistics confirm that the proper use of social media helps to improve business sales by increasing brand visibility and awareness.
