As companies grow their social media presence to monitor their target audience and customers, communicate with them, research their competition, and promote their products and services, the challenge is to scale their marketing efforts across the changing landscape of social media platforms and the mediums each one offers. It’s nearly impossible, and definitely not efficient, to work natively within each platform.
Thankfully, there are some really great social media marketing (SMM) platforms out there that can be deployed – whether you’re a solo entrepreneur or a small business – that make social media marketing manageable. Keeping up with the features and capabilities across the spectrum of social media channels isn’t easy… so working with a platform that stays on top of the latest features of each platform is important. We’ve seen some of the major platforms from just a few years ago drop out of the spotlight because they haven’t kept up.
One company that is providing a solid platform – especially when it comes to sharing visual content (images and video) – is Later.
Later All-In-One Social Media Publishing Platform
Later helps streamline your social media strategy so you can set yourself up for more sales and success. Their features focus on visual scheduling, media management, marketing, and analytics.
