9-tools-you-need-now

Our team has done an incredible job at making the best tools to help you maximize engagement on your website, meet your specific needs, and match your design aesthetic. One question we’ve been starting to get of late is “What tools should I be using?”

So, we looked at the stats for which tools were driving the best results and engagement and made some recommendations.

If you want to get the most out of AddThis website tools, we recommend using…

Sharing Tools

  • Sharing Sidebar Counters – We’ve found that having these buttons sit persistently on the side of the page, with the count of the number of shares, drives the highest amount of sharing.
  • Mobile Sharing Toolbar – This puts the sharing buttons persistently across the bottom of your mobile website.
  • Newsletter Sharing Buttons – Email has become a key part of our online marketing strategy. You can make your newsletter shareable using AddThis!

Follow Tools

  • Follow Header – This will stick buttons that link to your social media profiles on the top of your website.

Recommended Content Tools

These are all common interfaces to put on your website to promote content that you may want to get someone to read next.

  • Recommended Content Toaster
  • What’s Next Mobile
  • Horizontal Recommended Content

Marketing Tools

  • Marketing Overlay – Use this tool to pop up an alert box on your website that promotes content or prompts the visitor to take an action (like subscribe via email.)
  • Welcome Bar – Creates a bar at the top of the web page where you can promote content or specific actions.
