Sending social media messages from your smart phone just got easier thanks to Facebook.Last week the social media giant released an update to its mobile app that will make it much easier for users to ‘share’ stories straight from their phones.
The share button, which previously has only been available on the website, has been a long anticipated feature and should produce an immediate increase content sharing on the mega social media site. Facebook has added the button to the bottom of most stories, next to ‘comment’ and ‘like’ buttons. When clicked the button will rebroadcast the story you want to share straight to your newsfeed. Facebook hopes that more shares will lead to more attention, fans, traffic, and engagement for individuals and brands.
Facebook now has 604 million monthly active users on mobile, and that number is expected to continue to rise dramatically. For years mobile users had complained about the ability to share stories from their mobile phones, and Facebook has admitted in recent months that they’ve placed more emphasis on developing more mobile content.
For Shop Consultants, this new addition will make it much easier for you to share content, as well as for your customers and team membesr to share as well. If you see a post you like on SHOP.COM’s Facebook page, you can now use the share button to immediately share the offer with your networks.
The share button update is available now for both Android and iPhone.
