Now, you can share your church’s activities and involvements across social media websites such as Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and others.
We’ve added social networking buttons to EventU event listings, TicketU ticketing pages and TransactU donation pages. As an administrative user, you can choose from more than 100 social networking site icons to display on your event pages.
As website visitors view an event listing or donation page on your website, they can simply click the social networking icons to share the link with their favorite social networking site or service. This eliminates the need to cut and paste links into Facebook or other sites. With one click, users can share links with very little effort.
“We have the privilege of serving many highly innovative organizations. This is just another example of the way we partner with our clients to make them as successful as possible,” said Tim Whitehorn, president and CEO of ServiceU Corporation. “Given the exponential growth of social networking, we wanted to give our clients the ability to quickly and easily share the events and causes that they care about with their social networking friends and followers.”
This is a tremendous opportunity for outreach. “People naturally want to share causes and events they care about with people in their lives—both in person and online,” says Whitehorn. “With more people communicating through online networks, these tools will make it easier for you to reach a wider audience.”
How to activate your social networking settings:
1. Administrative users log into the system via my.ServiceU.com
2. Go to the Admin section and choose Public Events from the drop down menu
3. Choose Social Networking option
4. Click the top box to enable social links. This will allow visitors to your website to share the event listing or donation page on Facebook, Twitter or MySpace.
5. If you would like your visitors to have other social media options, simply click on the “show choices” link and type your sections into the field. You can also optionally enable all social links by enabling Show Additional Links Popup.
6. You can also customize the text associated with the shared event or donation page. Simply enter the text you would like to use in the appropriate field. This will be the text your website visitors share when they post the event to their favorite social media site(s).
