Buffer made multi-channel posting easier and trackable
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
We use multiple social media platforms across the board, which means metas calendar isn’t enough. this is where Buffer comes in, it allows us to post on multiple channels at the same time, while also letting us adjust the post for each one.
Buffer also has a nice tagging system where each post can be tagged, as a distributor this is really helpful because it makes us able to create reports by brand
Pros
- Tagging your posts with customized tags, and then being able to create reports with them
- letting you adjust the post for each channel, including pictures and captions
- hashtags groups, i can create groups of hashtags which makes posting much quicker!
Cons
- The tagging for instagram is not as sophisticated as the one for facebook. you have to make sure no typos are used or it won’t work, while facebook shows if the tag is correct or not
- the way you plan posts can be a bit confusing, for example im not sure what the time slots are
Return on Investment
- Increasing good contact with the brands we make social posts for, as we can show them reports.
- Speeding the process of adjusting posts for each channel, with the hashtags groups and the ability to change captions and media.
- Making it easier to track your posts (for us which brand the post is related to) for good oversight and reporting.
