As we discussed last week in Part 1 of this series, keeping up with social media is essential for any successful business. And while finding the right platform for your social media management needs can make all the difference, there are several social media management tools out there to choose from. If you’re still not sure which one is best for your unique business, read on to learn about seven more great social media marketing tools, and decide for yourself!
- Tailwind: Tailwind is focused on visual marketing for Pinterest and Instagram. Develop content, schedule posts, analyze results, and amplify your reach, all with one tool. It automatically optimizes your Pinterest and Instagram schedules based on your audience, and offers a drag and drop calendar, hashtag assistance, bulk image uploading, and multi-board pinning. Small business pricing is $10 per month, while a professional plan will run upwards of $800 per month.
- CoSchedule: This advanced drag and drop calendar comes in handy in more ways than one. CoSchedule lets you create a unified, collaborative workflow for every project, from social content and scheduling, to team emails and task assignments. Business plans start at $60 per month for start-ups needing to manage all their marketing projects and social campaigns.
- TweetDeck: With a name like TweetDeck, it’s obvious this tool is perfect for managing Twitter accounts. Best of all, it’s free for all Twitter users. Get access to customized timelines to help you with your home page, notifications, and messages, efficiently engage with your audience, and stay organized and informed with real-time tracking.
- SocialOomph: SocialOomph has different features and functions for a large variety of platforms. It includes the basics, like scheduling, analyzing, and managing blog posts, but it also has unique additions like keeping your inbox organized to help you gain more followers. The free plan works well with Twitter, and the paid plan helps you go a step further with Facebook, Pinterest, and more. This upgrade will run you $18 every two weeks.
- Friends+Me: Easy to use with a great design, Friends+Me simplifies social media tasks like scheduling content in advance, cross promotion with Google+ posts, and tools to track the success of your posts. It’s not as advanced as some tools out there, but plans are affordable and customized to your business size, with prices ranging from $7.50 to $215 per month.
- Likeable Hub: Use this unique app to share content, measure your growth, and generate referrals and leads. Likeable Hub also offers thousands of post ideas, including custom branded options. Plans range from $299 to $599 per month.
