Marketers Should Not Overlook Social Login
Despite an uptick in consumer usage, marketers remain skeptical of social login’s value. Just 17% of recently surveyed marketers offer social login on their websites, while 54% have no plans to implement this tool.
But according to a new Forrester report, marketers should not overlook social login as an element in their social depth strategy, thanks to the data it can provide around consumer actions and preferences:
“Marketers are missing out on a huge opportunity,” writes Senior Analyst Kim Celestre in a new blog post. “Social login is not a standalone social depth tactic,” she says in her new research. “Rather, it’s a complementary tool that can make registration easier for site visitors; minimize password management for your security team; and, through smart use of data, increase both your understanding of your customers’ brand exploration needs and the depth of their engagement.”
