8 of the best social networking apps for marketers

The best social media apps help you create better content, connect with the right audience, and also save you a ton of time.

 

That's why we made a list of the best apps and essential tools to help you do your job more effectively and efficiently.

 

 

 

This app recommended by Amanda Wood, the director of the Hootsuite social marketing team, is a visual organizer for Instagram. The app allows you to see how your individual posts would look in a grid format before publishing. Also, at the same time, it provides data and engagement rates for each post.

 

The result: a more consistent Instagram feed and a clearer visual style.

 

Crello helps social media managers create engaging images and animations for their brand accounts.

 

The best part: you don't need any design experience. With over 10,000 ready-to-edit templates and 30 available formats, marketers can use all of these elements and create an image for their brand.

 

With Fastory you can create branded content for your Instagram, Snapchat, Twitter and Facebook stories. Also, you can not only create images, Fastory also has a varied menu of content options that includes:

 

Fastory can be a great tool for leveling up any marketer's content.

 

Captiona is an amazing tool that suggests captions and captions in English for Instagram and Snapchat.

 

The most popular brands on Instagram post around five times a week, so creating eye-catching and original captions day after day can be difficult. The Captiona app allows you to enter keywords that describe your image to help you generate related descriptions.

 

If you are a marketer and you are looking for an efficient way to view your Instagram and Snapchat analytics in the same control panel, you don't need to look any further: Storyheap is the option.

 

Here you can see metrics like open rates, views, and engagement for image-focused social platforms. Plus, with Storyheap Studio, marketers can create and edit stories right from the dashboard.

 

Botletter allows you to send newsletters (newsletters) and drip campaigns through Facebook Messenger.

 

That's right, on Facebook Messenger. For all the skeptics out there, hesitate no more: Botletter boasts an 80 percent open rate on average, while typical newsletters are only 20 percent open. If we compare these two figures, sending newsletters through Facebook Messenger is the best option.

 

Canva is an intuitive design application for photo editing and graphic creation.

 

Social media is fast moving, which means you most likely don't always have a graphic designer at your disposal. Canva, a cloud-based design tool with web and mobile versions, fills that gap.

 

Even users with little experience in graphic design can use Canva templates to create everything from infographics to logos thanks to the app's interface that is very easy to use.

 

With Story Slicer you can post cut and edited videos to Instagram, Facebook, Whatsapp or VK stories. Either with a video that you already have or one that you are going to record directly in Story Slicer, with this app you can edit videos of any size for your story.

 

Its intuitive design and interface allow for a hassle-free editing process.

 

Extra: the app does not leave watermarks or ads, so the aesthetics of your brand can be kept clean.
