Managing a startup on your own can be difficult, and since you are new in business you do not exactly have enough investors and budget to assemble a top-notch marketing team. But there are certain tools that can help you get started and place your business on the right track while at the same time provide you with enough space to kick-start your business in a short period of time.
Email Marketing Tools
Email marketing is the oldest, but still one of the best ways of marketing for every startup. No matter what trends come and go in this world of digital marketing, email marketing will always be there and remain crucial in attaining success. Some of the email marketing tools that you should use are MailChimp which is an ESP tool with paid and free plans, and The Hemingway App, which can help you optimize your emails.
Social Media Marketing Tools
Earlier it used to be social gatherings, in-person discussion which are replaced by vitual conversations and discussions, and considering the evolution that is happening, social media and channels will gain more dominance only in marketing and buying decisions. So, if you want to make your startup successful, you need to start promoting your brand on social media from the first day or probably even before you launch your startup. There are several social media platforms to use, but using all of them can really be time consuming and confusing. Luckily, there are several social media marketing tools that are there to speed up and streamline the process and empower your brand, e.g. Hootsuite, Buffer, IFTTT and Social Rank.
