&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;img style="float:left;margin:10px;" src="http://www.websitemagazine.com/images/blog/social-mini.gif" width="75" height="75" alt="" /&gt;Social log-in and sharing tools are great solutions that can provide websites with increased registrations, conversions, higher social sharing rates and demographic metrics.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Janrain, a user management platform for the social web, is a provider of social log-in tools. Their Engage platform provides social login and sharing capabilities as well as user profile data, mobile support and social analytics to their clients.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.janrain.com/" target="_blank"&gt;Janrain&lt;/a&gt; partners with major social networks so that social network users can take their identities with them across the Internet, instead of creating a new identity at every site.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Because of the social-log in capability, Janrain can analyze data about users, so that clients can tailor their email and mobile marketing to specific consumer demographics.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Companies that have worked with Janrain to provide users with the social sign in option have seen an increase in registrations, conversions and social sharing of content rates.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;img style="float:right;margin:15px;" src="http://www.websitemagazine.com/images/blog/new-social-login-widget.png" width="381" height="134" alt="" /&gt;For example, GraphicMail, an email and mobile marketing service provider, has noticed increased conversions within the last eight months, which is when they implemented Janrain&amp;rsquo;s hosted social login solution.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Aside from GraphicMail, websites such as LadyGaga.com, Kodak and NPR have used Janrain to increase user&amp;rsquo;s online participation and registration rates.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;&amp;ldquo;In today&amp;rsquo;s marketplace, integrating social media into a multichannel marketing strategy is becoming an increasingly essential component of nurturing leads and driving conversions,&amp;rdquo;&lt;/i&gt; says Nicholas Eckert, GraphicMail co-Founder. &lt;i&gt;&amp;ldquo;Understanding that developing a trusted online relationship with every subscriber is a crucial step in building customer loyalty.&amp;rdquo;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Janrain Engage is free for the basic package, with other pricing models varying from $10 a month to more than $2,250 a year.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
