Capture market share early in the growth cycle

Sites Using Social Media

Businesses and organizations that engage with live social media tools now will capture market share early and benefit. A many to many platform gives Linqto subscribers a unique opportunity to connect with customers and prospects. In contrast to the approach of I post you respond, or I broadcast and you listen – Linqto technology gives all users the capability of on-camera discussion together.

Get started

Visuals - Create jpg images or convert ppt slides and upload to your live studio room. Linqto runs on Adobe Flash enabling everyone to view the entire room and your visuals, without a download.

Invite - FB events and email campaigns using the Linqto links for access. Post event information on the discussion board of the FB application landing page. The discussion board is a live news feed to your Facebook fan or friend base. This will post to your FB network. Ask guests to comment on the discussion board. Suggest users post to their wall for FB viral news feed advertising.

Advertise – During a live event a well targeted ad can increase activity. The action call to "join live now" can be effective. The application link can be placed in the ad itself.

Engage – Links placed in the text chat allow guests to open a second screen and go to another web site, while remaining in the live room. This feature gives you a second screen during the event where guests can be directed for further information, to purchase products or donate to your organization, live.
