Add Instagram Feed to Brand Facebook Page with TabSite

 

Instagram App for Facebook Pages

TabSite makes it easy to leverage the power of Instagram on your Facebook Page by creating a tab to display a brand’s Instagram account photos or photos from a specific #hashtag.

With user account photos, you can display your brand images from Instagram on a tab, and with hashtags you can empower fans to load their own images with the hashtag you identify and thereby pull in user generated Instagram photos.

Page Admins have access to hide images from display on the tab to better control what items are displayed. With social sharing tools built in, including the ability to “Pin” images to Pinterest, the TabSite Instagram tab gives brands a way to easily showcase mobile photos on a PC and enable fans to share mobile photos connected to your brand all while sending traffic back to your Facebook Page!

Available to all Platinum Plan TabSite users, this new addition to the TabSite Engagement App suite of tools makes it possible to bring the power of Instagram and other social sharing services like Pinterest together in once place, your brand Facebook Page.

Boost your Facebook Page with TabSite Engagement Apps

Engagement Apps are unique, individual, powerful Facebook Page tabs by TabSite with a simple focus:

Build it Fast, and Boost Fan Engagement.

These new TabSite apps are different than the original TabSite Drag N Build Tabs in that you do not add multiple widgets to your tab and move all pieces around where you want as with Drag N Build, but rather with this new suite of tools, Admins simply select the type of Engagement App they want to use, then fill out the form to create their tab content and turn it live!

Engagement Apps are designed to be quick to implement.

Again, simply select your type of Engagement App tab you want to build and have on your Facebook Page, then complete the fields for setup that we provide and publish!

Boost fan interaction with integrated social sharing tools!  Example the new “Share Deal” requires fans to share the deal with their Facebook friends before they get acces to the deal!  

Key Features

  • Social Sharing Tools integrated including: Like, Share, Tweet, Google+, and Pin (Pinterest).
  • Engagement Builders: Apps tools including Coupons, Share Deal, and Group Deal encourage engagement by integrating social interaction.  Group Deal sets a minimum number of users that need to access the deal before it becomes active and is available!
  • Like Gate for fan gating is available at the Gold and Platinum levels.  Simply load your non-fan image to encourage the “Like” to access the information.
  • All Engagement Apps for Platinum Plan users come with a Promotional Tool feature.  This additional benefit allows Admins to more easily drive traffic to their tabs from their website or blog by allowing you to upload an image and grab embed code to add to your blog or site.  This image call-out will link to the Facebook Page Tab.  See further below for a visual of the setup of this feature available to all Platinum users.
Share Control:
Every TabSite Engagement app includes the ability to customize the image and messaging that gets posted to a user’s wall (plus Twitter, Google+, and Pinterest) when they socially share your Tab.
 
PROMOTIONAL TOOL example: Here’s a embedded call-out using the Promotional Tool feature for Engagement Apps.  This image was added in the Engagement App, code was pasted here. It’s that simple!

NOTES: Engagement Apps do not have sub-pages or work in conjuction with exsiting Drag N Build tabs using sub-pages as they are stand-alone tabs for Facebook Pages. As such, you must add a new tab to access Engagement Apps as we will not give you the Engagement App option if you are creating a new sub-page of a existing tab.

Going forward we are going to continue development on leading edge Engagement App tabs with special, focused tools to boost fan interaction, fan sharing, and driving traffic to fan pages.  

Engagement Apps from TabSite – the powerfully easy way to boost traffic to your Facebook Page!
