Buffer

Rogers and Hollands did the research and ended up choosing Buffer. This did absolutely everything we needed (for our online website and brick and mortar stores) at a much lower cost. Especially true for their business tiers. Our recommendation is to review everything you need for your business when it comes to social media, then choose the most budget-friendly option. Focus the money you saved on marketing within those social platforms instead.

For all social media scheduling and planning, we currently use the platform 'Buffer'. Prior to beginning my work at Alexander Joseph Lighting, I had never come across Buffer, and within my first couple of weeks at the company, I was using it daily with no issues. The platform layout is clear and easy to navigate, the general running of our social media is precise and organized, thanks to Buffers guidelines and notes/flags given when using the software (such as a link not being accepted or tweets being too long).

One feature of Buffer that our marketing team finds very useful, is the ability to schedule posts from days to weeks in advance - as well as the quick and easy process of changing the dates and/or times of the post being shared.

Websites such as Tweetdeck are commonly used at Alexander Joseph, to keep up to date with current themes/trends in our industry, and the ability to schedule/share tweets directly from Tweetdeck to Buffer, has been a great help; both with the easy sharing method and time efficiency.

However, we have found that on Buffer, we are unable to schedule/share certain posts on Instagram. As of today, you can only schedule one image to be shared at a time. You are unable to post a collection of photos, as well as being unable to share videos on Instagram via Buffer. Our marketing team has also come to the understanding that you are unable to share posts to an Instagram story - a feature that we would heavily use, should it be available.

I personally use Buffer more than anyone else in the company, and I have found that on a few brief occasions, posts that I have scheduled have been moved around/swapped with other posts. Although it is a simple fix, it can be time-consuming to alter dates and times for several posts across a variety of platforms, as well as checking other future posts to make sure they are still correct. Although this was an inconvenience, it has only happened a small number of times over the months that I have been with Alexander Joseph. I would only consider changing the platform, should another have the same features and easy use, as well as the features that Buffer does not yet allow.

The product which I always recommend to my clients and people within our organization(Imaginaire Digital) is Buffer, due to the fact that it is very easy to understand, even for beginners and allows you to almost completely automate your social media posting. There are a few downsides, the main one being that you are only allowed a small number of social accounts before you have to pay for the software.

We use Buffer as we feel it is the most well-rounded option out here for our business - CPD Online College. The ease of use is much better than others we looked at and it just allows us to focus on creating great content. You can also publish across multiple social channels so we save time when promoting new offers. The drawback is that it doesn't have as much functionality as other software but for the price, it does a great job.

The main objective of using Buffer at Her.CEO is to allow to schedule social posts across multiple platforms. Buffer is a more price-competitive option in the majority of situations, however, you should look at pricing pages to see the best deal for your specific situation.

As a social media scheduling tool, Buffer is the simple and intuitive addition that marketers and business owners need. After using multiple software tools at Search It Local, we can say that no software is perfect, Buffer brings a range of tools under one slick roof to be a leading candidate in the field. It's a misconception that managing social media is simple. Buffer works towards making this a reality with a combination of scheduling, analytics, account synergy and team collaboration features. If you place value on posting a large amount of content and require the reporting tools to make sense of the data, and optimize towards better results, Buffer is extremely valuable.

My name's Mitch, I run masteredmarketing.com We use Buffer religiously and find it as simplicity and usability approach, Buffer is a clear winner. Buffer has just released the ability to schedule Instagram Stories as well, which is fantastic! They also have Buffer Analyze for digging deeper into data if you want to use it.

If your goal is something simple, Buffer is the way to go in my opinion.

As a Sales and Marketing Coordinator at Kerb Holdings Company Pty Ltd, my personal experience speaks that Buffer isn't quite as advanced. It's posting/scheduling feature (Buffer Publish) is good, with story scheduling becoming available recently as well! It also allows you to see post engagement from the Buffer site. For an extra cost, you can access Buffer Reply to reply to messages sent to your socials from Buffer. You can also purchase Buffer Analyze which gives you insights into your posts' performance and suggests strategies.

While it's good and reasonably priced for what they offer. When I currently observe the SEO Industry and my site SEO is Life, I think it's a good option for small businesses looking for a way to schedule posts across social. Neither offers comprehensive social listening, but it goes fine for small businesses that don't have a huge amount of social media activity. It's like both priced for startups and small businesses. If you just want some basic functionality to schedule posts across multiple platforms it's a good value for money.

Buffer is a fantastic program but it serves different functions for small to medium-sized businesses. For the projects at We Push Buttons, we advise our clients to choose the platform based on their particular businesses' needs. If you are a small business owner with limited time then Buffer is the best solution as you can schedule your social media interactions for the month well in advance.
