Social media has proven to be an effective marketing tool for businesses. Having a presence on all the major social media platforms has become essential for any business’ marketing strategy. So how do you manage all these accounts without going crazy? The tools that social media masters use to manage their multiple accounts are: Hootsuite, Buffer, SocialOomph, Tweetdeck, Twipi, Social Flow, SproutSocial, SocialFlow, CrowdBooser, and ArgyleSocial.
Here is a list of the best social media management tools:
The most popular management tool is Hootsuite. It allows people and businesses to executive campaigns across multiple social network platforms collectively using one dashboard. It’s a useful tool for tracking conversations and measuring campaign results. Unlimited social profiles can be managed along with integrating Google analytics and Facebook insights.
Buffer allows you to schedule your content across social media platforms. You fill it with content and then select the posting times throughout a day. You can keep your posting schedules consistent without having to worry about managing the delivery times. The program also provides analytics to measure your campaign.
There are some differences between Hootsuite and Buffer so a lot of marketers use them in conjunction. Hootsuite is used to listen to conversations and Buffer is used to schedule. Hootsuite allows you to see other people’s conversations and Buffer doesn’t. However, Buffer allows you to schedule your posting times and Hootsuite doesn’t.
SocialOomph offers both free and paid productivity enhancements for social media. The tool provides functions for Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Plurk, and your blog. On Twitter it allows you to schedule tweets, track keywords, view mentions and retweets, direct message cleanups, auto-follow, and auto-direct message features for new followers.
