Social Media Tools that You Can Use to Simplify Marketing

Are you excited to launch your first campaign? Marketing through social media has now become a must for not just B2C driven businesses, but for B2B as well. Online presence and content marketing can actually provide tangible results for you. Those who invest in content driven marketing activities see almost 8% increase in their website visits per year as opposed to those who don’t. Yet surprisingly most companies don’t have a tracking system for their online marketing activities. There are so many tools available online that can help you to plan, create and market effectively to your target audience.

Don’t let the information available overwhelm you; instead use it to your advantage. Here are 7 tools from the planning to the marketing stage that can help you achieve your goals.
