1. how to save budget on managing social pages, groups and communities;
2. how to save precious time on their service;
3. as well as how to automate this process.

Mostly use one social. the network that is most effective for their business or the most popular in their country. To save time and costs on this channel, as many companies, especially small ones, believe that social networks do not bring results. It does not! You need to use the maximum available channels for your business and I can definitely say that social. Media is a very powerful channel.

I read somewhere about the fact that marketers conducted a study and concluded that customers who had at least one contact with your brand on the social network, then make a purchase at you with a probability of 40% higher. All professionals in SMM say that social networks are in most cases not sales channels, but PR. In addition, it is a good way to support and quality feedbacks from your customers. Simply put, use social networks to build a positive image and increase customer confidence in your company, which will further lead to recognition and sales.

Types of additional tools for working with social networks.

They come in several types:

• services online;
• desktop programs (for personal computers and laptops);
• mobile apps;

Someone uses one, some others, and the most advanced ones, and perhaps those who did not get here.

Saving the company budget and time keeping groups.

Previously, I used the program for PC Viking invite +, it was very uncomfortable, as when going home switched off the computer and posts posts stopped. Now I use the online service of Novopress http://goo.gl/Ch0NTB  and browser extensions. I'll explain why.

Extensions for browsers allow you to quickly gather information, plus quickly send it to one of the groups (in our case, in VC), and thanks to the settings taken from the source of our group in VC, it is posted on all our other social networks.

Let's count.

Suppose a company has a person whose responsibilities include the management of social media.

As it was before ...

We counted to find and fill one group, an average of 5 posts / day * for 30 days = 150 posts / months. It takes about 2 minutes / Post * 150 posts = 300 min. / Moon (5:00.), Since we have 5 groups * 6:00 = 30 hours.

It is almost full 4 business days. If a person has a standard working schedule of 5 days to 8:00 and on average 22 working days, for example, we take the average salary of +4000 UAH. (4000 UAH / (22 days * 8:00) = 22,72 UAH / hour.) For social networking you will pay him 22.72 UAH * 30 hours = 681.81

How now ... 

We take the cost of an hour of work 22.72 UAH * 5:00 = 113.6 UAH. + Subscription cost 120 UAH. (if to pay half a year or a year is even cheaper) = 233.6 UAH.

Difference 681,81 — 233,6 = 448,21 — savings, you overpay an average of 290% of your budget for SMM! In addition, if you pay immediately for a year and take into account that when using the tools of the service you can download content faster, you can save even more.

Conclusion

Thanks to the advanced tools on the Internet, you can now work much more efficiently by doing more work in less time or as a businessman saving the budget for keeping the staff involved.

I wish you all more loyal subscribers for your groups and public. If you like the article share it in social networks, write your comments. Special thanks to those who have kept to the end 🙂

Little laughah for you.

Few people think that social networks, in comparison with other channels of advertising, such as context, banner ads and others, have the same peculiarity. How much would you have no subscribers, 1000 or 10,000, when the advertising budget ends in other channels, in social. the networks in the audience that you have at the moment do not diminish and not disconnected, and you can continue to broadcast it.
