Social sharing 

Our social sharing feature makes it super easy for you to share your campaigns on Twitter and Facebook and see a report of the results. 

In-email sharing made easy

The easiest way for your subscribers to share your email is by adding a 'Tweet' or 'Like' button to your campaign. With a couple of clicks any subscriber can share your email with their friends or followers. You can integrate Likes or Tweets into your editable text, or if you don't want to use the standard 'Like' button, we can style your own text or image to become a link. The styled link, when clicked, loads the lightbox like the one below*.

Add a 'Like' button to your campaign

When your subscriber clicks on this button in their email, we'll load the following lightbox where they can 'Like' your campaign and see which of their friends have also liked it. Here's an example of this in action:

Add a tweet button to your campaign

Let your subscribers tweet about your campaigns.  If your subscriber is a Twitter user, clicking that button takes them straight to a compose window, with the tweet pre-populated with your campaign subject and a shortened URL linking to the web version. Here's how that one looks:

Just like the Facebook 'Like', we can add the buttons with your own text or images if you don't fancy the standard 'Tweet' design. 

Adding the buttons

You can add your own sharing links to any campaigns you send using the editor.

You can also share campaigns straight from the MailAway reporting area. The report for every email you've ever sent now includes a new 'Share' button in the top right corner. Here's how it looks:

Clicking the 'share button' will open the modal popup below, where you can share on Twitter or Facebook with a single click:

Whenever the URL is mentioned on Twitter or 'Liked' on Facebook, we'll track the results for you. You and your subscribers can share your campaign any way you like and we'll handle the rest.

Real time reporting that brings it all together

While there are lots of different ways to share your campaign, we bring it all together with the new social sharing report. The report includes who tweeted about your campaign, who liked it on Facebook and who forwarded your email on to friends. Basically, whenever anyone shares your campaign, we'll show you who it was and how they did it.

The report is broken up into two parts. Firstly we've got a summary of the activity so far across Twitter, Facebook and email forwards.

Below that is a real-time list that pulls all of this together into a single activity stream. See what people are saying about your campaign on Twitter, who's sharing on Facebook and which subscribers have forwarded it to their friends.

For each subscriber that tweets, we'll show you their Twitter avatar and a link to the tweet in question. We also link to the subscriber snapshot and display a gravatar if available for anyone who 'Likes' your campaign or forwards it on to friends.

There are loads of other subtle features in this report, but we'll leave some of them for you to discover once you start sharing. This is a brilliant feature for learning more about who is sharing your campaigns with the world, and what they're saying about you in the process.
