Online shopping Sites can be difficult for your clients to use, often having to click through multiple pages before being able to buy a product. This is where Linklay can be of help. It lets you create & embed clickable, shoppable images onto your Site easily & quickly.
To get started with Linklay you just go to the Site & sign up & upload an image showcasing the products you want to sell. Then click on the image to add hotspots & fill in each product name, price & link for a product page. You then copy a snippet of code, paste it where you want the shoppable image to display, & you’re done.
The tool is appropriate for both merchants & bloggers. Online merchants can send potential customers from a picture to a product page with 1 click. There’s no need to use search tools or have your customers navigate through a maze of product pages. Bloggers can easily apply nofollow links for sponsored content & affiliate disclosures for affiliate links.
The main features of Linklay are:
- Mobile responsive
- Google compliant (important for affiliate links & sponsored Content disclosure)
- Google Analytics integration – lets you refine your Content strategy by analyzing what users are clicking on
- Custom click-to-buy points with different available click-point styles
- Dedicated support for paid subscriptions via chat & email
- Amazon Cloud backup – image backup on Amazon Cloud Services
- Unbranded – Linklay branding is not shown anywhere on your images
- Flat fee – No commission is taken on the affiliate revenue you earn
