Looking for a way to streamline your marketing efforts? Are you looking for digital tools that can save you time and effort, whilst also optimising your campaigns to improve how effective they are?
We’re here to shed some light on the best-kept secrets in the marketing industry.
A marketer’s job often includes juggling what feels like hundreds of campaigns at once. There’s email, social media, websites, research and more. It can be time-consuming, but having the right tools will help you save time where possible and keep track of all your projects.
We’ve put together a list of all the best tools to help get your marketing back on track.
Almost everyone has heard of ChatGPT which is why it has claimed the number one spot on our list. ChatGPT is a text-based AI software that can help a marketer in a whole number of different ways. From writing articles to generating images and analysing large chunks of data, ChatGPT is the ideal assistant for any marketer.
Through a simple prompting system, you can tell ChatGPT what you need, and it can generate it in an instant saving you time without sacrificing accuracy.
There are two versions of ChatGPT, the first is the standard version which is not connected to the internet. While this does have access to a huge amount of information, this information has not been updated since its creation in 2022.
This, while doesn’t affect the features of the program, does mean that some information is outdated.
The second version of the AI chatbot is ChatGPT4 which is connected to the internet. You can provide it with URLs or ask for the latest news updates and it will scan the internet and present its findings for you.
Canva is one of the most popular marketing tools used all over the world.
Making sure that everything you put out looks good isn’t always easy. Design can be time-consuming, and it requires a niche set of skills, but luckily Canva makes it easy to anyone to create professional-looking designs if you don’t have an in-house designer. It has templates for many different marketing materials, from social media posts to logo design.
Many features of Canva are free and are super easy and straightforward so anyone can create great-looking designs with very little hassle.
You don’t need to be a great designer to build your latest social media post, Canva comes with hundreds of different templates and assets to help you out. These are free to access and edit and can be customisable for different platforms.
However, by far the best feature of Canva is the brand kits. Canvas brand kits lets you save all your colours, specialised templates, fonts, assets and logos all in one spot so when it comes to building a new post you have everything you need to keep your design on brand.
Remember, it’s important to ensure that all your marketing materials have a consistent look so that your brand is easily recognisable. You can read more about the importance of branding in our article.
Planning and scheduling content is important when it comes to maintaining consistency across your digital platforms.
Hootsuite is an amazing website that allows you to not only schedule and post content to a huge variety of different social media platforms but also create reports on how well your posts are doing.
There are various scheduling tools out there, but our favourite is Hootsuite. It allows you to schedule posts, tracks mentions, comments, and direct messages and provides you with insightful analytics such as the day of the week your posts are seeing the most engagement.
You’d be able to manage all your accounts across multiple platforms through a single dashboard, which will save you a staggering amount of time.
