In today’s hyper-connected world, your social media presence is one of the most powerful tools for building relationships with your audience. That’s why I’m thrilled to share an exciting update from Zapiy: the ability to incorporate Social Media Icons into your funnels. This simple yet impactful feature lets you seamlessly connect your social platforms to your sales funnels, giving visitors an easy way to follow, engage, and interact with your business.

When I first explored this feature, I realized how much value it adds. Imagine a visitor landing on your funnel and immediately seeing sleek, branded icons for your Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, or YouTube pages. With a single click, they can connect with you beyond the funnel, increasing your visibility and building trust. Let me walk you through why this feature matters, how to set it up, and additional ways you can use it to strengthen your business’s online presence.

Why Social Media Icons Matter for Your Business

Here are the top three reasons why adding Social Media Icons to your funnel is a game-changer for your social network:

1. Improved Visibility

Visibility on major platforms in social media is no longer optional; it’s essential. By integrating social media logos directly into your funnel, you make it easier for visitors to discover your online profiles, browse your content, and connect with your brand.

Think about how many leads visit your funnel daily—why not provide them with a clear and enticing path to explore your social media accounts? More connections on social media networks mean more opportunities to nurture relationships, share updates, and convert leads into loyal customers.

2. Customization Options

Your brand is unique, and your funnel should reflect that. With Zapiy’s Social Media Icons, you can make quick customizations on the social media logos to align with your branding. Adjust official brand colors, icon sizes, padding, and even the way the icons behave when clicked.

For example, if your brand uses bold, vibrant and bold colors, you can customize the social icons to match that energy. On the other hand, minimalist designs can feature subtle, monochrome icons that fit your aesthetic.

3. Streamlined Interaction

No one likes complicated processes, and your leads are no exception. By adding social icons to your funnel, you create a user-friendly experience where visitors can instantly connect to your profiles. This makes interactions effortless, whether they want to message you on Facebook, browse your Instagram posts, or learn more about your company on LinkedIn.

How to Add Social Media Icons to Your Funnels

Setting up the social media icons feature is easy for a broader social media network, and the impact it has on your engagement is enormous. Follow these straightforward steps to get started:

1. Access the Funnel Builder

Begin by navigating to your CRM’s funnel builder. If you’re already familiar with creating funnels in Zapiy, this will feel like second nature.

2. Select “Elements” in the Funnel Builder

Once inside the funnel builder, locate the "Elements" tab. This is where you’ll find all the available features you can add to your funnel.

3. Choose “Social Icons”

From the elements list, select the Social Icons feature. Drag and drop the element into the desired section of your funnel. Consider placing it in a prominent location, such as near the header or footer, to maximize visibility.

4. Customize the Icons

Here’s where you can really bring your branding to life:

Select which custom icons for social media platforms you want to display (e.g., Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, LinkedIn).

• Adjust the color combinations of the icons to match your brand’s palette.

• Add padding to ensure the icons are evenly spaced and visually appealing.

• Link each icon to the corresponding social media page.

5. Experiment with Styles and Themes

Play around with different layouts and designs until you find one that complements your funnel’s overall look. For instance, you might use circular icons for a modern feel or opt for square shapes for a professional tone.

6. Save Your Changes

After customizing your social icons, hit “Save.” Review the funnel to ensure the icons are perfectly placed and functioning as expected.

Going Beyond Icons: Leveraging Your Social Media for Success

Adding social media icons to your funnel is just the first step. Here’s how you can maximize their potential:

1. Drive Funnel Traffic to Exclusive Content

Use your social media platforms to promote exclusive offers or updates available in your funnel. For instance, share a Facebook post or Instagram story that directs followers to your funnel for a limited-time discount. By linking back to your funnel, you create a seamless loop of engagement.

2. Measure and Optimize Performance

Track how many visitors are clicking on your social icons and which platforms are driving the most engagement. Use this data to refine your strategy, focusing on platforms that yield the best results.

3. Encourage Social Sharing

Add calls-to-action (CTAs) within your funnel encouraging visitors to share your funnel link on their social media. This can amplify your reach and bring in new leads who trust the recommendations of their friends and followers.

Additional Use Cases for Social Media Icons

To make the most of this feature, consider these creative ways to use social media icons in your funnel:

1. Customer Testimonials

Link your social icons to specific pages or posts where registered users have shared glowing reviews about your product or service. For example, an Instagram post featuring a happy client could be just the nudge a lead needs to convert.

2. Showcase Content Variety

Let your social icons direct visitors to platforms where you share unique content. Use YouTube for in-depth video tutorials, LinkedIn for thought leadership posts, and Instagram for visually engaging updates.

3. Use Icons for Customer Support

Do you offer customer support through platforms like Facebook Messenger or Twitter for a better user experience? Add these icons to your funnel, giving visitors a direct line to get their questions answered quickly.

Integrating Social Media Icons with Your Marketing Strategy

While adding social icons to your funnel is crucial, integrating them with your broader marketing strategy takes this feature to the next level. Here's how:

1. Cross-Channel Promotions

Use your funnel as a central hub, linking visitors to ongoing promotions on your social media channels. Whether it’s a giveaway on Instagram or a poll on Twitter, you can encourage visitors to participate and engage with your brand on multiple platforms.

2. Build Social Proof

People trust businesses that have active and engaging social profiles. By linking your icons to platforms filled with testimonials, user-generated content, and active conversations, you reassure potential customers of your credibility.

3. Retarget Visitors

Social media platforms like Facebook and Instagram offer retargeting capabilities, allowing you to show ads to visitors who interacted with your funnel. By integrating social media icons, you ensure those visitors connect with you on platforms where retargeting can take place, keeping your business top-of-mind.

Strengthening Brand Consistency with Social Media Icons

One of the most overlooked advantages of integrating Social Media Icons into your funnels is how they reinforce your brand’s identity across multiple platforms. In an age where potential customers interact with your business through various channels, maintaining consistent branding is critical.

1. Seamless Brand Experience

Your funnels are often the first point of interaction for potential leads, while social media is where they go to learn more about you. By incorporating icons that match your funnel’s design, you create a seamless transition between these touchpoints. Whether your visitors are exploring your services or engaging with your Instagram content, they’ll see the same consistent visual cues that build trust and recognition.

2. Unified Messaging

Social media icons are more than just links—they’re invitations for your audience to experience your brand across platforms. Use them to connect your funnels with the messaging you’ve crafted on each social channel. For example, if you use LinkedIn to share industry insights, Instagram for behind-the-scenes glimpses, and YouTube for tutorials, the social icons in your funnel invite visitors to explore these varied aspects of your brand.

3. Boosting Cross-Platform Engagement

Adding social media icons doesn’t just strengthen branding—it actively boosts engagement. When visitors recognize familiar branding on your social channels, they’re more likely to interact with your content, participate in campaigns, and share your updates. This strengthens your overall marketing ecosystem and brings funnel visitors deeper into your brand experience.
