One Toolbar, Multiple Uses Your Conduit to Success

These days, your average computer user probably has many windows open at all times. She’s checking her email. She’s staying connected through her social networking sites, like MySpace, Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn. She’s adding items to her cart on Amazon, buying movie tickets online, checking the weather, and reading a restaurant review. And maybe she’s got your site open as well, but soon it’s buried under everything else that’s going on.

Wouldn’t it be great if there was a way to keep your site on top, so that it would be front and center all day, no matter what else she had open? Thanks to the Conduit toolbar, you can keep your site on top – literally. The toolbar sits on top of your customer’s window, where it’s branded with your logo and provides a quick link to your homepage, links to other pages on your site that you choose, and customizable gadgets. Your client can easily share the toolbar with her friends, who then download the toolbar as well, leading to many more clients. Your Conduit community toolbar is a constant, unobtrusive, and useful, presence, in your customers’ lives.

Intrigued? Don’t just sit there – create your Conduit community toolbar today!

Show Me the Way!

Simply click on the “Get started” arrow.  The installation process couldn’t be easier – there is no software to download, and you can build your community toolbar in a few clicks. Even if you have no technical know-how, the step-by-step instructions make it a breeze to set up your toolbar. Pick a logo – you can use your own custom logo or choose from the many designs Conduit offers. Customize it to reflect your product or service. The toolbar automatically includes a Google Search Bar as well. Then, embed your toolbar in your website or social networking site. Your customers can download it from there. No matter what other websites are open, the community toolbar will be front and center all the time.

Customize, Customize, Customize

The Conduit community toolbar is customizable on two ends – yours and your customers'. You add all the gadgets and links related to your product. For example, Major League Baseball has a Conduit toolbar. Their toolbar, in addition to the site link and Google Search Bar, includes links to MLB TV, to the latest MLB news (displayed via a news ticker,) to the photo store, to the MLB blogs, to stats, standings, and video highlights, among others. When the customer downloads the toolbar, she can add any of the myriad Conduit gadgets, including Yahoo! Music Top 10, a To-Do List, a Blackjack game, and a calculator. She can also personalize which parts of the toolbar should appear. There are other add-on options as well, including an email notification option, a quick link to Microsoft Word, Excel, or Outlook…the list goes on.

In short, the toolbar will quickly become her can’t-live-without-media-device, the hub of her frequent web activities. You can add links to Facebook, Twitter, or any other sites, which your client can then personalize with her login info. She will be reaching for her Conduit toolbar all day long – which leads to more visits on your site. The enticing combo of customizable functionality, entertaining gadgets, and up-to-the-minute updates about your product will motivate her to share it with her friends and network.  And every time someone else downloads your toolbar, it leads to more hits on your site, and more customers.

No-hassle updating

When you update your company’s Conduit toolbar, everyone who downloaded your toolbar automatically receives the update. It’s a terrific way to keep your customers informed of your latest products and offers. The customer doesn’t have to do anything to know the latest news from your company – the news is delivered right to their doorstep (webstep?). In addition, updating your toolbar keeps your client relationships fresh and engaging, and your customers will want to visit your site in order to take advantage of your latest service.

The MLB toolbar keeps customers updated through video highlights and a news ticker; clicking on one of the items leads the customer directly to that video or article. The articles are refreshed as necessary, providing a constant flow of up-to-date, fresh information that people want to read, and share.

Gotta Have It

Make your Conduit toolbar the I-need-this-in-my-life application for your customers. Think about what your customers want. For MLB fans, it’s real-time stats and game tickets. For Golden Tee Golf clients, it’s the ability to find an online golf game, anywhere in the world, at any time. For Lufthansa travelers, it’s receiving up-to-the-minute info on arrivals and departures. The quick links to the most important content on your site, plus the entertaining gadgets (who can pull themselves away from the radio player, crossword puzzle or blackjack game?) will make your toolbar – and your website – come out on top.
