STATE Drinks creates an interactive image that breaks down their beverage’s key selling points with text annotations, as well as a video clip for why you should use STATE for sports hydration.\u00a0 Additionally, this brand drives followers to their four main social media accounts (YouTube, LinkedIn, Instagram) by using ThingLink’s social media tags.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The British Embassy in Vienna builds a 360\/VR tour of a historic landmark that Facebook viewers can explore directly from a post.\u00a0 Clicking on the hotspots will reveal video clips about the location and additional factoids.\u00a0 Most importantly, clicking on the arrows brings viewers through a series of 360 images.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Unboxing” videos are a growing social media trend and much of this success is attributed to how products are presented to their audience. These fun videos include a host unveiling each product to show key attributes, which entices the consumer to click-through, learn more and purchase products.\u00a0 CLC uses ThingLink to layer interactive hotspots onto each of the products appearing within the unboxing videos. This strategy allows the consumer to get to the product with ease and make a purchase with fewer required clicks.<\/p>\n

4) Interactive Facebook Tabs<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

One of the most underutilized features of Facebook are “Facebook Tabs”.\u00a0 These tabs allow you to embed a full page piece of media that mimics a website landing page.\u00a0 Tabs are valuable because they let you utilize more page real estate and you aren’t contained to the size dimensions of a Facebook post.\u00a0\u00a0Adding a ThingLink tab to your Facebook page can be just the boost you need to separate your page from the rest of the pack. While timeline posts can be both attention grabbing and engaging, they are quickly replaced by newer, fresher content on your followers\u2019 timelines. With a ThingLink tab on your Facebook page, your content is always easily available<\/span><\/p>\n
