When did we get the "Social Networking Module"?
Mar 16^th, 2011, 8:20pm

I just looked at my store and noticed that there is a social networking module down at the bottom of it with a like button for Facebook and Twitter. When in the world did this happen? Or, am I just one of those people who never see anything? It kind of blew me away. I could just about swear that it wasn't there a week or so ago when I made changes to my store's look.

Do you all see it?

I am jumping for joy on this one.

That is sure going to get us more views.

Thanks GCU! I am so excited!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Isn't that wonderful? Now people who like our stores will help us sell more cards. I'll like yours, if you like mine.

Hey Guys!

I didn't even notice it until I read your forum posting Rebecca then I went and checked it out on my own store.

I have to apologise, I am still relatively new to all of these online stores and social networks - well, I have created accounts however sometimes neglect to utilise them consistently so I always seem to be falling behind haha. Anyhoo, my question is my account only allows me to use the Twitter network, not Facebook - is this the same for you both as well??? The only reason I ask is because I do not have a Twitter account, I started a facebook page last week but that's it.

Do either of you have a Facebook page? Mine is "Graphic Allsortz Page", link : http://www.facebook.com/pages/Graphic-Allsortz-Page/179561795409927.

I think I have "liked" all of the Facebook page links everyone has posted on the forum recently and would love to support your pages too if you have a link?

But yeah, great idea of GCU's to add the social network feature - not only for card sales but a great way to interact with other creative people too

All the best xox

Becky, I didn't find it at the bottom but 'searched' and found "network" on the side. (Thought I was losing my mind there for a minute!) Shocked

"like" was instant but I had to sign in for tweet.

I wrote this: "Grant Greetings has lovely music as you browse excellent nature photos. " Cheesy

For Rachael I said: "Funny Stuff! New Mardi Gras Cards left me in stitches!! Cheesy

"

So sorry SunAtNight, your Social Networking isn't showing up on my browser. Sad

Send a Real Paper Greeting Card Today! http://t.co/v7WAI15" It doesn't allow for much writing though.

Thank you Eve.

For you I said, "Beautiful nature photos to send to real friends." kiss

You have such fabulous photos up.

I favorited 2 while I was there and even got some ideas.

Hey, just for an experiment, I clicked I wanted to sell your swan card for mother's day then put *that* into the tweet slot. It barely fit but will be fun to see if it sells. Cool

I just liked your store and your Facebook page. I do not have a Twitter account so I couldn't like it, sorry. I may get one though, and if I do... I will be back.

Here is my store's Facebook page link: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Grant-Greetings/181001451937647

I just noticed this today as well.

Your "Networking Module" is not showing up. You need to go to "Manage Store" then "Store Layout" and see if you have it checked or not. If not, that's why.

We can't like your store if you don't have it there, which may cost you sales.
