Social Share Buttons in Emails

[Dan_Stevens_]

Our social icons in our emails just link to the respective social accounts so the users can follow/connect with us. Content is actually shared on the resulting landing pages. I think that's where most people get confused - it really doesn't make sense to share an email, but rather the content that the email is promoting.

I don't think it "doesn't" make sense to share an email. It depends: a well-designed event announcement can be as attractive as an LP and without any additional coding.

Yep, that is why if it was a newsletter I had share icons for each piece of news with a 'tweet able' link and content attached to the share button.

Yeah, a newsletter is a good use-case where it does make sense to share the individual contained contained within the email.

Hi Rick et al.,

We have a few clients that use functionality to share a particular story across different platforms within a newsletter. For example, we have used:

• Twitter
• Google+
• Facebook
• LinkedIn
• Email

This is a pretty old thread so please reach out if you still need assistance!

Hi Jaime,

We are interested in sharing specific stories within our newsletter. What did you use to implement? Was it "AddThis"? We are interested in using Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.

Thanks,

Sanije
