6 New Social Media Marketing Tools the Experts Use. You Should, Too.

6 New Social Media Marketing Tools the Experts Use. You Should, Too. | Top Social Media Tools | Scoop.it

Social media is transforming the way brands market themselves online. Actually, it’s safe to say that social media has already changed things in a big way.


New platforms have emerged that continue to transform the way we communicate. These changes affect both how brands promote their message, and how their fans respond.

With these new platforms comes a handful of new tools to help social media marketers engage with audiences in creative ways, and to keep track of their efforts. To keep pace with the latest social media trends, it’s time to review and update that tool set, recognizing which tools we should keep, which we should discard and which new tools we can add to supercharge our social media efforts.

Here’s my shortlist of the top social media tools that every marketer should be using in 2016....

Jeff Domansky's insight:

If you're not familiar with all of these social marketing tools, you should be.

The Essential Tools, Applications, And Extensions You Need To Stay Sane As A Marketer | NewsCred Blog | Top Social Media Tools | Scoop.it

GAs a marketer, you’re pulled in a million directions at once. Explain this new tool, write next week’s tweets, negotiate a vendor contract, code and send out this email — the possibilities are endless. One second you’re creative and the next analytical. How can you be expected to keep your head above water with changing priorities and each day looking different than the last?

I’ve been on an endless journey to discover the best tools and tactics to help me be more productive, focused, and thrive day-to-day. At NewsCred, I’m frequently asked what the icons in my toolbar are or what a specific program/extension is, so I figured if these tools can help a few co-workers, hopefully they can help you as well. I’ve included a link to each tool below, a Windows equivalent where appropriate (I’m on a Macbook), and a description of how it can help....

The images, along with their SmartTags, can then be shared on Twitter and Facebook, as well as through email and SMS messaging. By leveraging the app, users have the ability to turn static images into interactive photos that contain actionable tags that extend the story they want to tell....
