Try Walls.io social walls for free

I think Walls.io is a great way to see what users are posting on different social media platforms. That makes it much easier to discover content and user opinions about the show in real time from different channels.

I think the big benefit is that when our participants see the wall projected, it encourages them to engage more on social media. So it’s a bit of a carrot to get them to jump on Twitter or Instagram and participate because they see the wall projected. Participants want to see their images and contributions projected for everybody else to see. So I think for me as a comms person, that’s the biggest benefit of it. And then there’s the practical side, where it’s just a great way to combine all of our activity around the event and have a visual representation of that.

Some people just don’t want to post a photo from a trade show on their social media accounts. But they were fine with posting it directly to the wall this time and enjoyed that they could see the picture appearing on the wall while they were standing there. Overall, the interaction with the wall was the biggest we’ve seen since we started using social walls.

Using Walls.io removes the complexities of aggregating posts from various social channels so we could hit the ground running with our campaign. Instead of pulling in posts from various sources, we were able to focus on the UX of our landing page and strategy for this year-long campaign. Walls.io has a robust API that we were quickly able to hook into and pull our collection of posts into a custom landing page. Walls.io also has fantastic customer/developer support between their documentation and super-responsive live chat agents.

The social wall helped us increase awareness and let people perceive us as a creative employer — somebody who is open to new ideas and tries to go with the times.

We chose to use a social wall for this campaign to help us collect user-generated content, in addition to building brand authenticity and awareness. We researched and compared a few different platforms, and Walls.io checked off all the boxes on our list. We used the Moderation feature to ensure the submissions were relevant to the contest. Best of all? Walls.io was fully customizable, easy to use, and has great customer support.
