On this episode of Digital Marketing Radio we discuss whether every business be using a social media dashboard, with topics including:
Why build a social media dashboard?
What kind of efficiencies can a small business gain by using a social media dashboard?
Isn’t it best just to focus all your efforts on the one social network and do a quality job there?
Why do you focus on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram?
What are the biggest opportunities on those networks at the moment?
Is it still important to drive traffic back to your site and build your own email list?
What’s the future for these social networks? How will they continue to evolve?
N.B. I introduced Emeric saying that he was "crazy enough to compete with Hootsuite" - here's an interesting blog post that compares the various social media management tools, showing that AgoraPulse are doing very well indeed!
