HootSuite Adds Social Network Team Collaboration Tools - Ideal for Agencies, Enterprises, Consultants and Marketing Groups

(PRWEB) April 12, 2010

HootSuite Media Inc. released Team Collaboration tools in a new version of the popular social media dashboard. Specifically designed for group coordination, teams can now better manage message publishing and conversation monitoring across multiple social networks.

Best known as a web and mobile-based tool for managing Twitter, Facebook, Linkedin and other social networks, HootSuite continues to respond to organizations who use the dashboard for customer relationship management and support desks applications, in addition to social media promotional campaigns.

This fundamental advancement will enable enterprises, agencies, content publishers, and consultants to work with clients and colleagues seamlessly, without sacrificing control over confidential account info or compromising message timeliness.

Power of Collaboration

From day one, HootSuite was built with teamwork in mind by offering a solution for managing multiple accounts with numerous contributors. Over the past year, HootSuite added more social networks and additional ways to share access with teams. This new release was developed to better control communication channels by designating “Owners” and “Team Members” to each social network account.

Owners and Teammates

Each social network account now requires an Owner who “holds the keys” to that account (note: this Owner is chosen the next time the user logs in). This Owner can then add Team Members with Basic or Advanced access. Ownership is easily transferred to a client or other Team Member as roles change.

Teams Members are up and running quickly with columns for brand monitoring, keyword searches, list following and more — allowing Teams to concentrate on tracking conversations, spreading messages, and monitoring what works with on-board statistics.

Once assigned to a social network, Team Members can post messages, create additional views and columns, and interact with the details of social networks. Plus, Team Members can add ad hoc social accounts for external teams or personal use, and create their own Teams, all without setting up a separate HootSuite account.

Talk to Everyone

Team Members can also add RSS feeds allowing a auto-updates to social networks whenever a blog, photostream, or other news feed is updated. Users can select a publishing interval, destination social network, and even pre-pend the updates with custom messaging.

Another tool to assist group communication is the “Reply to All” feature. A single click will pre-populate a message with all recipients of the original message without requiring copy-and-pasting or memorizing Twitter handles. This highly-requested feature offers another way to participate in the social conversation while saving keystrokes and time.

Spanky Media Announces New Wordpress Websites Service To Boost Profits For Marketing and Online Business Consultants

Perth, Australia (PRWEB) September 06, 2011

Business owners are increasingly recognizing the need to have an online presence. However, their marketing consultants and online business coaches rarely have the expertise to provide a quality website building service. Spanky Media has just announced a way for consultants to expand their service portfolio to include, and profit from, WordPress websites building and management.

In creating this done-for-you service, the Spanky Media team analysed the needs of business consultants and offline marketing professionals. It became apparent that these consultants were throwing profits away by being unable to offer their current and prospective clients a website development service.

We recognize that marketing consultants are busy, explained Kirk OConnor, CEO of Spanky Media. There are many elements that comprise a solid marketing plan, and growing in importance is the need to have a search engine optimized (SEO) website.

Marketers are not website builders, WordPress development or SEO experts, but they do need to provide this service to their clients if they are to be regarded as a full-function consultancy. said Mr O’Connor.

The Spanky Media reseller model offers consultants web marketing services at wholesale prices which the consultants, in turn, provide to their clients – at whatever prices they choose. It allows the expansion of the consultants product offering, without the need to recruit more staff.

Measurable Results

Geoff Payne, owner of Total Manager, has been using Spanky Medias services for over 6 months.

Spankys range of products and varying price points allows us to accept deals that may not have had sufficient margin in the past whilst the fast and efficient WordPress development process means we get a quality product for our clients delivered within days on most occasions, said Mr Payne.

He continued I have also seen a major increase in my team’s productivity and sales flow since using Spanky Media. I estimate that we have freed up 60% of our time thanks to Spanky and this has allowed us to spend that time on meeting new prospective clients and closing more business.

In using Spanky Media, business consultants and marketers take advantage of fixed cost production, not an hourly rate. This gives them project budget control, and predictable profit margins – increasingly important in challenging economic times.

Most importantly though, the consultants remain the face of product delivery. Spanky Media works in the background to quickly deliver the best possible product range – high quality, low cost and extremely profitable for resellers.

The Spanky Media suite of services to online business and marketing consultants include:

Attractive and functional SEO website construction using the WordPress content management system
On page and off page SEO
Social media enhancement – Facebook, YouTube and Twitter page backgrounds
Hosting and ongoing SEO services

The launch of the Spanky Media reseller model creates unprecedented opportunities for consultants. That they are able to add whatever margin they choose to our wholesale prices gives them an unparalleled opportunity to expand their businesses and grow their profits, said Kirk.
