As someone who is active on social media coupled with hearing similar needs from clients and prospects, I have a need for a social media marketing application that has the following criteria:
A marketing and monitoring tool that helps me engage with visitors, clients and prospects, for email, landing pages, blogs and social channels.
Ideally would like to easily create content, select one more more channels and post to all at same time. Want to have a consolidated monitoring tool with dashboards to show trends, responses, etc.
Key social sites are:
- Twitter (multiple)
- Facebook (multiple)
- Google+
- Tumbler
- Youtube
- Slideshare
- Vimeo
I firmly believe it is not necessary to spend hundreds or thousands of dollars every month for something like this. If you have a any experience with any of these applications, I’d love to hear from you.
Some of the ones I’ve been evaluating lately include:
- Sprout Social
- Sendible
- Get Response
- Hootsuite
- Postling
- SocialOomph
- Gremln
- ViralHeat
