A social proof notification is a small popup message that lets other customers see when someone has taken an action with your brand.<\/p>\n
This could be something done on your Weebly site, such as someone signing up for a webinar or making a purchase. Or, this could be an action taken off your site, like when someone leaves you a review on Google My Business or Yelp.<\/p>\n
Regardless of where the action takes place, the result is the same: when people see that others are positively interacting with your business, they’ll trust your brand even more.<\/p>\n
And the more people trust your brand, the more likely they are to buy your products<\/a>. In the end, these small social proof notifications on your Weebly site can have a big impact on your overall profits.<\/p>\n You’ve likely seen social proof notifications before. Here’s the one we built for today’s demo:<\/p>\n And while this looks large in the image above, it’s much smaller on your customer’s browser:<\/p>\n Social proof notifications, just like this one, have been proven to boost sales by up to 15%. And as you’ll see in a moment, they’re super easy to create.<\/p>\n Plus, when you use TrustPulse, you can add these social proof notifications<\/a> to your website totally free for the first 500 sessions of traffic. After that, our paid plans start at around $4\/month, or about the same cost as a cup of coffee.<\/p>\n To learn more about how TrustPulse plans compare with similar software, read this review of FOMO vs. UseProof vs. TrustPulse<\/a>.<\/p>\n Otherwise, sign up for your free TrustPulse account today<\/a>!<\/p>\n Once you sign up for your account, you’ll immediately be able to build your social proof notification. Then, once you’re ready to publish, you’ll get an embed code for your Weebly site.<\/p>\n We’ll start this tutorial by creating your social proof notification. Then, we’ll show you how to integrate your campaign with Weebly in the last step.<\/p>\n After you’ve signed up for TrustPuse<\/a>, you’ll be taken to your dashboard. In the top right-hand corner, click\u00a0Create Campaign<\/strong>:<\/p>\n Then you’ll need to give your social proof campaign a name and select your Weebly site. This is the URL that you’ll have entered during the registration process:<\/p>\n If your Weebly site isn’t connected yet, no worries. We’ll show you how to integrate Weebly with TrustPulse in just a bit.<\/p>\n Now you’ll need to decide your social proof notification type. With TrustPulse, you have 2 options:<\/p>\n Both of these campaigns do a great job building trust with your website, but they should be used in different contexts.<\/p>\n Recent Activity<\/strong>, for example, will show you when an individual took a specific action on your site. When possible, it will even refer to the customer by name:<\/p>\n If you don’t have your customer’s name, that’s not a problem. You’ll be able to reference your visitors however you’d like as you build your social proof notification:<\/p>\n The point is that Recent Activity\u00a0<\/strong>campaigns refer to an individual taking some action on your site.<\/p>\n On-Fire<\/strong> campaigns work a little differently. Rather than refer to an individual, these campaigns will show how many total people have interacted with your brand:<\/p>\n You’d want to use\u00a0On-Fire\u00a0<\/strong>campaigns for situations where you know lots of people will take the same action on your site. This could be good for webinar sign-ups, flash sales, popular limited time offers, or other activities that have a lot of participation.<\/p>\n We’ll use a\u00a0Recent Activity\u00a0<\/strong>campaign for today’s tutorial:<\/p>\n Again, both types of social proof notifications work well. But Recent Activity<\/strong> is better for everyday kinds of interactions with your website.<\/p>\n Once you’ve selected Recent Activity<\/strong>, click Next Step<\/strong>:<\/p>\n We made sure that our social proof notifications look great out-of-the-box. Our goal was to make your campaign easy to modify and look stunning even for people who don’t have any coding or web design experience.<\/p>\n That way, you can get all the benefits of social proof notifications with a fraction of the time and energy.<\/p>\n You can change your social proof notification’s:<\/p>\n And much more.<\/p>\n You can also change the image that goes along with your campaign. This can be helpful if you’re selling a specific product or want an icon to make your social proof notification stand out. Our default image shows what region of the world your customer is from:<\/p>\n But we also have pre-made icons you can choose from:<\/p>\n Or, you can upload an image yourself so your social proof notification is totally unique:<\/p>\n These small modifications are easy to make and can be done in a matter of minutes. We even offer a variety of Advanced Settings<\/strong> so you can change the color, font, and size of your campaign’s text:<\/p>\n That way, you can make your social proof notification match the style, message, and look of your Weebly site.<\/p>\n Again, here’s the social proof notification we designed for today’s tutorial in less than 2 minutes<\/strong>:<\/p>\n Once you’ve designed the right campaign for your Weebly site, click\u00a0Next Step<\/strong>:<\/p>\n At this point, you’ve chosen your campaign type and designed how it looks. Now, you need to decide what will trigger your social proof notification. There are 2 options here:<\/p>\n AutoMagic<\/strong> lets you show a social proof notification for any action that was taken on your site. This would be things like when a customer makes a purchase, subscribes to a newsletter, signs up for a webinar, and more.<\/p>\n But there are times when you want to show how customers are interacting with your brand that isn’t necessarily on your website. For that, you’d want to use our\u00a0Zapier<\/strong> integration.<\/p>\n Zapier <\/strong>makes a trigger for when people engage with your brand on 3rd-party sites. This would be like when someone leaves you a review<\/a> on Google My Business, for example. With our\u00a0Zapier<\/strong> integration, you can capture activities taken with your brand from over 1,000 different external sites.<\/p>\n For today’s tutorial, though, we’ll be making a social proof notification for when someone makes a purchase on our Weebly eCommerce store. For that, we’ll use\u00a0AutoMagic<\/strong>:<\/p>\n Scroll down until you see the question Where should we watch for activity from this site?<\/strong>. Below will be a drop-down menu where you need to select Form activity from URLs containing specific text<\/strong>:<\/p>\n This will let you capture activity from your checkout page to trigger your social proof notification for when someone makes a purchase.<\/p>\n Next, find the heading called Add one or more page rules<\/strong>. You’ll see your site’s domain name on the left-hand side where you can enter the URL slug of your Weebly site’s checkout page:<\/p>\n The exact URL slug may depend on which payment gateway you use for your Weebly site. For example, this Weebly site’s checkout page has the unique URL slug:\u00a0store\/checkout#\/payment<\/strong><\/p>\n You’ll want to verify the URL slug you’ve set up for your own checkout page for this step.<\/p>\n That way, when users go through with checkout using this unique URL, TrustPulse will create a social proof notification on your website to show everyone when a purchase has been made.<\/p>\n But before TrustPulse can do that, you’ll want to determine what parts of your website you want your social proof notification to appear on.<\/p>\n For that, click Next Step<\/strong>:<\/p>\n Now you’re almost done adding your social proof notification to Weebly. All that’s left is deciding where on your website your campaign will appear.<\/p>\n By default, your social proof notification will appear on every page of your website:<\/p>\n But you can modify this by selecting any other option from the drop-down menu. You can display your campaign on:<\/p>\n And much more. For today’s tutorial, we’ll leave the default setting\u00a0Display on any page<\/strong>. This will make sure all of your site’s traffic see your social proof notification and will help you build trust with a wider audience.<\/p>\n After that, you can personalize the Notification Settings<\/strong>, such as:<\/p>\n Then you have\u00a0 even more Advanced Settings <\/strong>that allow you to:<\/p>\n All of these rules let you decide when, where, and how long you display your social proof notifications on Weebly. And, again, these options can be configured with zero coding experience.<\/p>\n Everything can be done in a matter of minutes, so you have more time to focus on other areas of your business.<\/p>\n After you’ve set up your display rules, click Next Step<\/strong>:<\/p>\n Now all that’s left is to embed your campaign’s code into your Weebly site and click\u00a0Launch Your TrustPulse Campaign<\/strong>.<\/p>\n At this step, scroll down to find the embed code for your social proof notification:<\/p>\n On your Weebly site, navigate to the Build\u00a0<\/strong>tab. Scroll to the bottom of the page and add an Embed Code\u00a0<\/strong>block. Then paste your TrustPulse embed code in your Weebly site’s\u00a0Embed Code\u00a0<\/strong>block:<\/p>\n Now head back to your TrustPulse account and make sure your Weebly site is connected. You’ll need to click Check Now <\/strong>to do so:<\/p>\n When you know that your site is connected, go ahead and click\u00a0Launch Your TrustPulse Campaign<\/strong>:<\/p>\n And that’s it! Your social proof notification is now live on your Weebly site.<\/p>\n If you need any more help integrating TrustPulse to your website, no worries.
