trending bar | Fridge Notes

You heard it here first — we have some new features lingering around on Social Grocery!

First on the list is profiles. You now have the ability to edit your profile information. Awesome, right? We think so. To do so, while on your profile page, you will find a handy “Edit Profile” button underneath your picture:

By clicking that, it will lead you to your edit page. Now you can edit your profile name, add the URL to your personal website, blog, Twitter account or Facebook page, enter in a short bio about yourself (get creative!) and share with us your favorite store — there will be a pre-selected list provided according to your zip code.

After perfecting your information, click save. The bio spot on your profile will now look something like this:

As we like to say here at Social Grocery, “AMAZABALLS!”

Next up is brand pages. You are now able to search by brand names, accessible by the footer, browse menu, and each product page (brand name hyperlink next to the product image). Here”s an example of what the brand page search index looks like:

From there, you can click on a brand and be directed to their own page. These pages include websites, Facebook and Twitter links, a contact number, a top ranked product, as well as a listing of all products available on Social Grocery for that specific brand.

Look at that! Now you can easily access your favorite brand”s products all in one spot. What could be sweeter?

Last (but certainly not least) we have .. drum roll please .. trending pages! And not just the old product trends, either. Wait for it ..

Yes, in addition to trending products we now have trending users and brands! Now it”s even easier to find out what the latest love is within the Social Grocery community — as well as who is dominating the leaderboards.

From this main trending page, you can click the “More” button at the bottom of each column to bring you to separate pages for each category.

We hope you enjoy our latest updates! As always, we are open to feedback and would love to know your thoughts.

Happy grabbing!

Good day everyone,

If you have visited Social Grocery you have surely noticed our trending ticker scrolling across the top of the site. We have recieved a few questions from people asking what this is and how it works.

Basically we wanted a way to quickly and easily communicate to you what was happening on the site at that very moment. If there is a coupon or discount on a specific product that other users are taking advantage of; we want you to know about it now. The ticker is on every page and we”re all getting used to seeing these things scroll across our TV screens. (breaking news for groceries?!)

Today, the Social Grocery Trending bar reflects the activity of specific products on the site. It looks at grab, ratings, comments and pantry events and adjusts accordingly. Soon we will be adding more elements to the trending bar to make sure you get the full picture.

So start grabbing, rating and sharing and watch your favorites move to the top.
