Marketing Widgets You Want On Your Joomla Website

Wondering how to make your Joomla website a little bit more fresh and modern? Perhaps you are looking for ways to easily tie in your social media accounts to your site?

It sounds like your website is in need of some new visual and lively appeal! You can very easily add some marketing widgets to your site for a nearly instantaneous change-up. Depending on the nature of your site and the type of company it is, you can choose the widgets that are the right fit.

Today, we're going to focus on three popular widgets that you can easily add to your Joomla website.

X / Twitter feed Widget

I love seeing a company's X / Twitter feed when I land on their site. Why? Because it tells me some important things. Usually, this indicates that they have a strong presence on social media and are proud to show it.

They are clearly utilizing X / Twitter as a way to stay connected to their customers and to be available to them. This is the modern day way of showing pride in the product or service you offer and respect for your customers.

This company is likely to be looking for ways to spark engagement and stay active in the X / Twitter community. Which are both true signs of a company who values presence in the digital world.

Instagram feed widget

I love seeing an Instagram feed on a company's website probably just as much as I love seeing a X / Twitter feed. Instagram is such a neat, on its own social media network that I just can't get enough of brands that utilize it properly.

With Instagram, company's have a great opportunity to show branding and transparency into who they really are.

By putting your Instagram feed on your site you are first of all showing that you are a modern company that is staying current on trends in social media. Second of all, you are encouraging visitors to your site to follow you on a more personal social network.

I know all of you have to be as numb to "Like us on Facebook!" as I am, so simply showcasing a running feed on your site of powerful images that you share on Instagram is more eye-catching that one would think.

Addthis

Addthis is a less specific marketing widget to add to your Joomla website, but rather an overall marketing widget tool that is very effective.

Addthis is great for adding social sharing and social follow buttons seamlessly to your site. It allows you to tailor recommendations to the side panel of your site based on pages that your visitors view. It also features an analytics dashboard where you can see how well the tool and your site is performing.

Adding these three marketing widgets to your Joomla website is just an easy way to help make your site more relevant and an easy way to share more information about your company with your visitors. It's good way to prove you are active on social networks and for you to encourage people to reach out to you via those outlets.

Since they are all relevant and necessary in their own unique way, be sure to choose the marketing widget that will best represent your company and that is useful to your website visitors.
