Other news from Facebook
In other Facebook news, the social networking giant is testing the Trending Stickers section. The information was released by Manchun Jane Wong on her Twitter page. Users will be able to react to trends with different stickers.
As usual, at first this is a rumor; but most of the information revealed by Wong has come to fruition and we do not expect this time to be any different. We may not have any official announcement on this from Facebook, but we expect an update soon.
Facebook also recently added a set of Call to Action [CTA] stickers for Pages. The stickers will allow companies to make more effective use of stories through direct response tools. The buttons reflect the CTA options in the main Business Pages header.
Now, page owners can make viewers available the “Buy Now”, “Get Directions” or “Reserve” buttons directly from the story feed.
It’s a big problem for businesses; especially those who consider the option of using stories as a digital marketing process. Regardless of how young the Facebook stories are still, and considering the fact that Instagram offers a better option, companies may choose to use Facebook because of their potential.
