The Basics

Who is Intouch Solutions?

Intouch Solutions is a full-service interactive marketing agency. Intouch specializes in high-quality, cost-effective, custom digital solutions for the pharmaceutical and health care industries.

How did Intouch Solutions come to develop share»send»save?

Intouch Solutions saw the risks involved in sharing content across social networks for highly-regulated industries. share»send»save was developed to become a part of the social sharing environment while adhering to strict regulations.

Recent events in the pharmaceutical industry — including a letter the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) sent to a major pharmaceutical company concerning the use of a social sharing widget — have heightened awareness of the need for control over how social sharing applications work on pharmaceutical-sponsored and healthcare-related websites.

Intouch took those restrictions and incorporated them into a newer version of share»send»save.

Optimized social sharing metadata is a collection of content values that describe your website for social networks, e-mails, and browser bookmarks/favorites. The focus is placed on how humans will see and respond to your content. Search-engine optimized (SEO) metadata focuses instead on how search engines (Google, Bing, etc.) find your site during a keyword search. For regulated industries, sites benefit from having both types of metadata side-by-side, so that their content can be shared socially without degrading the impact of their standard SEO-focused meta-tagging strategies.
