1&1 Internet, a well-known web hosting provider, announced yesterday that it had launched Social Media Center with helpful tools to enhance the social media activities of the MyWebsite customers. The media center is built based on 1&1 Online Success Center which includes a large amount of resources and tips on improving web presence and increasing customers' success.
Nowadays, social media channels are useful ways to raise the awareness for a business and to attract traffic and sales because they have numerous users, and moreover, search engines now rank websites depending more heavily on the social media "likes", "shares" and "tweets'. To enhance the MyWebsite service, 1&1 has developed this solution to simplify the way businesses communicate on social media.
There are 2 main elements in the media center – 1&1 Social Page Manager and 1&1 Social Share. The company claims that they will work efficiently to help small and medium sized businesses strengthen the interaction with end customers on those popular social media platforms including Facebook, Twitter and YouTube.
The 1&1 Social Page Manger provides an easy way to create a professional Facebook page with business name, website headers, logos, contact information and other site contents synchronized with the business website. With this tool, SMBs can also create unique customized Facebook tabs to individual pages. The Social Share, on the other hand, offers tools to enable customers updating their posts across different social media platforms at the same time.
Both of the 2 elements can be edited in a single dashboard of MyWebsite editor tool, which effectively eliminates the inconvenience of multiple logins.
Social Media Center is now available for all the MyWebsite customers. The solution is free for the first month and $4.99/mo for the rest months of the contract.
"Our new Social Media Center can be a powerful eBusiness tool, in not only allowing the rapid creation of social media material, but also the centralized and timely management of multiple channels. All business owners today would be wise to explore solutions to enable them to satisfy social media expectations in the long term. There is real business value to social media when it can be done in an automated and time efficient manner," said Robert Hoffman, the CEO Hosting at 1&1 Internet.
