Social Panel

The social panel is a widget which allows your business to gain social network advertising impressions. It is a way which your customers tell others about your business in a 'grass roots' manner. Many eCommerce businesses such as Amazon and the Iconic use social network impressions to gain social recommendations. These are free (although may be boosted with payment on some networks) and are a great way to enjoy free marketing.

Currently, the panel is rolled out in the thank you page; however, it will eventually be rolled out on the service and product pages to enable your customers to forward interesting services or products you may offer.

Note that you can use the messaging that is offered through the panel to align to your mission, value proposition or even marketing tactical.
