Digital marketing tools are a huge asset that save time and ultimately money. Last month, we provided you the best tools for content marketing. This time around, we here to give you the best social media marketing tools.
As we all know, we’re living in a digital first world. What we mean by this is that most of the content and information we learn on a daily basis, comes from online.
How often do you check your phone for the sports score or get a little notification, of a major event happening? Chances are, that news probably hit social media first. The point is, everyone is online, more specifically, social media.
By now, it’s obvious why your business needs to be on social media. However, it does require a lot of time and attention. (But not if you have tools!)
Let’s dig into some of our favorite social media tools.
1. AdEspresso
If you’re using Facebook ads, AdEspresso is a very powerful tool. This tool lets you create campaigns, but simplifies the process (as we know how complicated Facebook Ads can get.)
The tool quickly lets you create campaigns, just enter a name and targeting details. From there, it’s really easy to set up different variations (A/B testing). AdEspresso takes care of the rest, as it automatically tests the different headlines, images, and marketing copy.
Once you select the right ad, publish onto Facebook and start seeing results! It’s that easy!
Benefit: test different Facebook ad variations to see which give you the strongest ROI.
