It’s that time of year, when most resolve to do at least one thing to improve their lives this year. If you Google “Top 10 New Year’s Resolutions,” you’ll get lists that usually include: lose weight, save money, enjoy life, get more organized, help others and learn something new. The same can be applied to social marketing. We’ve developed a short list of common resolutions that will make for a healthier and happier 2013 for social marketers.
We’re happy to announce the launch of Shoutlet 6.0, which includes a variety of new features that put more of the tools important to social programs into the hands of social media pros in one fully integrated social media management system.
By adding in these new features – Social Ads, Social Listening, Social Contests, and Social Analytics – Shoutlet becomes an even more valuable DIY social platform for leading brands and agencies. Integrated into the already comprehensive features of Shoutlet, each new piece of functionality gives customers everything they need in one robust platform for better social campaign execution and understanding of how consumers are using social to support brands.

In addition to having thorough training and educational programs in place when embarking on an effort to scale social, social media management tools are a key part of successful scaling efforts globally. Every company is different, and each requires a unique set of processes and requirements that will allow them to scale social media in the most effective way.
