Promote Your Customers’ Suggestions with RSS Widgets

We have been getting a lot of customers asking how they can post and promote their suggestions on their website. Each SuggestionBox has its own unique RSS feed that displays the most recently updated public suggestions. You can view the feed for SuggestionBox here. Here are a few very simple widget platforms that let you integrate your suggestions into your site. They all allow you to customize the look and feel and dynamically update.

SpringWidgets
Use their express widget to create a simple RSS feed widget. It is free to sign up, and you can add a header image and customize the colors.

Grazr

Another free service that allows you to create a reading list with multiple feeds. Use their simple interface to build your custom widget. You have to create an account, but it is free.

YourMinis
Last but not least, is YourMinis. Personally I like this widget the best because it is super simple and you have the most flexibility over the colors and formatting. The service is free and you don’t even need to sign up!

Pick a widget that you think integrates well with your site. When a visitor clicks on one of the suggestions they will be taken to your SuggestionBox page. From there they can comment, vote and submit their own suggestions.

What other ways would you like to be able to promote your suggestions? Submit your suggestions here.

  1. Hi there, thanks for the Grazr mention! One quick correction, though, you don’t need to sign up for an account to use the Grazr widget. The “create a widget” link will work without an account and allows you to input a target URL of a feed or OPML (multi feed) file and get embed code for a feed widget.

    Create a widget: http://grazr.com/config

    Accounts are required for other services that we provide like hosting of reading lists (the exports from feed readers and other tools), using our dynamic drag and drop editor, and last but not least, our feed merge services (blending several feeds together into a river-of-news style stream).

    Thanks again for the mention.

  2. Thanks Mike. I guess I missed that embed code box… I went through and created an account and it looks like I didn’t even have to. Anytime.
