Problems & Solutions

As technology is getting advanced, there are a lot of ways to reach customers and sell products. With 2.27 billion users worldwide, Facebook deserves one of the best marketing channels, which creates a jump in sales for online stores. Therefore, Facebook Plugin, with many benefits, helps online stores deal with the problem of integrating the product website with the Facebook page to stimulate customer engagement. 

Increase Followers For Facebook Page

Developing a Facebook Page is essential if you want to earn trust, attract potential shoppers, and retain loyal customers in today’s competitive environment. It will attract visitors and turn them into followers of your Facebook page. Using the Mageplaza Facebook Plugin module, you can notify visitors about another channel of your store by embedding it on the product site. Besides, customers' activities, such as likes and comments under the product post, are shared on Facebook so that the fan page can gain more potential followers.

Trendy Way To Keep Store Information Updated

Facebook is becoming more and more prevalent, particularly with young people. It is a big mistake if stores do not take advantage of Facebook to promote their products and communicate with customers. It is a comfortable and convenient way for customers to get information about products via a channel they are frequently using. Customers can search for product information and interact with their friends on Facebook at the same time. Let customers know about the existence of your store's Facebook address to bring a better shopping experience for them.

Mutual Interaction Between Shoppers & Owners 

Communication plays an important part in creating a solid business-customer relationship. With this module, store owners can interact with customers via Facebook messenger and in the comments section. It is very convenient for both customers and shop owners because while customers feel they are heard, businesses have a way to understand their customers better. 

Professionalize Online Stores Look

Embedding the most popular channel on the store website makes it more interactive and professional. Customers will have multiple options to acknowledge the store's update and find it easier to contact stores as well as share product information and their experience with friends on Facebook. 

Highlight Features

Facebook Comments

Thanks to the great support of the Facebook Plugin extension, customers can use their own Facebook accounts to comment under the product view pages. Then, when stores reply to their comments, they will receive a notification on Facebook simultaneously. It is immensely helpful, especially if the comments are about product inquiries, because customers do not have to visit the website but still get to know the answers quickly. 

Besides, other visitors can easily see the question and its answer on the product page. There may be some questions they also want to ask, so it saves time for both the stores and visitors not to do the same things. Also, store admins can manage comments on Facebook apps. Moreover, the comments and feedback between stores and visitors shown on the product page will make the website more trustworthy and interactive. Your stores will definitely take the heart even from the most fastidious customers. 

Call To Action Button

When it comes to digital marketing, Call to Action is arguably the most important factor. Therefore, this extension allows activating the Call to Action button to help stores effectively take customers to the next steps. Depending on the event or campaign your store organizes, CTA buttons can be Call Now, Register Now, or Watch Video. It will be a perfect combination of the store's Facebook page and website to turn visitors into loyal customers. 

Allow Customizing Design

Store owners can flexibly customize Facebook Plugin appearance with elements like width, height, header, profile picture, cover picture, and CTA button to fit their site at the backend.
