Best Apps for Business Communication: Stay Connected and Productive

Are you working hard to post consistently, provide valuable and relevant content, and do all you can to please the almighty algorithm, but you're feeling overwhelmed? We've all been there! Sometimes it feels like you've already posted all your good ideas and you're not sure what to do next. Or maybe you're running multiple accounts, and you can't keep up! You know consistency is key, but there are only so many hours in the day.

I have three apps that every non-profit or small business should invest in that will make your social media marketing a cinch!

Canva is a graphics tool that will make you look like a pro!

• Pre-made and customizable templates for social media posts, presentations, videos, brochures, flyers, advertisements, and so much more.

Time is money and Canva will save you tons of both. No need for a graphic artist, searching the internet for clipart or just the right picture, or trying to remember the exact name of that one color from your logo. Canva takes the guesswork out of creating attractive and professional posts. With both a mobile and desktop version, you can take your work on the road! To spice up your social media game without using up all your time, Canva is an excellent resource for any social media manager.

Hootsuite is a social media management platform. It enables users to schedule and post to multiple platforms. Imagine scheduling posts for all your various accounts once a month! Hootsuite helps you to set it and forget it, so you can use your valuable time concentrating on what is most important to you.

• A single inbox for all your various social media platforms, where you can respond to DMs or take advantage of a Generative AI Chatbot.
• Use brand mentions and keyword searches.

Hootsuite is a huge timesaver that takes the guesswork out of posting to your social media platforms. Avoid going back and forth from one platform to another, stay organized, and make changes all in one place. Hootsuite is a must-have for every social media marketer!
