Being able to schedule posts on social Media channel such as instagram
That i can’t schedule it with one social media
When i am busy it helps me to make sure i am paying attention to clients by schilling their post 1mth in advance
The ability to schedule out - ahead, in advance - image-heavy social media updates made my life at work 100% easier for my 4-year long tenure at a professional services firm. Campaigns became themed by week or holiday, contained quotes, images, calls to action - included multiple posts in a single day - and involved twitter, Facebook, and LinkedIn. At some point, an API configuration changed and I was no longer able to post to our company's LinkedIn profile through the platform; which was a bummer. That one social site became the only manual update I made. ON the flip side, I reviewed and replied to comments and monitored the likes we received, but it was sooooo hard to do all at one time (create, post, engage). Buffer closed the gap and made my social marketing worthwhile.
It was easy to forget to go back onto the pages themselves to check how the audiences were reacting; I'm embarrassed to say it was about a week before I noticed the likes and potential comments I'd still need to tend to... luckily, no harm done.
Being a one-woman marketing department of a small but busy company became easier - my social sphere of influence was larger - thanks to Buffer. Benefits included more reach on campaigns where I used social media channels as a traffic driver back to the company website.
What i like best bout buffer is that it is so easy to use this smm tool. I can easily attach all my social media pages to buffer and schedule posts across all social channels. Also, i like the analytics feature of this tool which let me know how my social media posts are performing on different social channels. I like the visual representation of report which makes it easy for me to understand what went write and what went wrong on social channels
This tool is best and I have faced no issues with this tool
Using this tool I can easily manage my social media publishing and it saves a lot of my time and also I have seen the engagement of pages going up because I can analyze the best posting times for all my pages
I have only used Buffer and Hootsuite for social media scheduling. Buffer was by far the easiest to use and easy to learn. I quickly switched all of my clients to Buffer. Their customer support is very good too.
There is nothing that I particularly dislike about Buffer.
Easy to schedule multiple social media posts, making it easy and quick to schedule all of my various client's content.
Easy to use for my 3 social media platforms. I can schedule up to 10 posts
Probably more to do with Instagram, but how the image posting has to be a set size.
Saving time with one post to the three social media platforms.
Very easy to schedule out social media posts. I like that I can schedule different posts on different platforms
nothing. Great tool. Upload a ton of different posts and they will be posted when you want them to.
Creating a bigger social media platform. Can great a months worth of posts in just one day.
Buffer makes it easy to pre-program my social network postings and I can also manage several different accounts from one place. At our marketing company, it is also easy for customers to understand and use on their own time if they are on their phone or computer, I love using Buffer to plan my social network strategy. This is what I like most about this: 1) It easily integrates with Twitter, Facebook, and linkendin. It works with Pinterest and Instagram, but I only use it for Facebook, Twitter and Linkendin. 2) You can use it for free for up to 10 programmed publications at a time (as of this writing) and this allows you to be sure that it works for you and your needs. 3) The team behind Buffer is fantastic. The few times I needed to contact support helped me right away and my problem was solved that way.
Here are four things Buffer could do better. 1) The user interface can be a bit clumsy at times. I think I could use a makeover. It's not terrible at all, but it can be confusing to find out. 2) Sometimes the extension doesn't connect properly and gets stuck in a load pattern. 3) I often have to go and re-authorize Twitter or Facebook to work again. It can be annoying to do this over and over again. 4)Connection problems occur quite frequently with LinkedIn; this may be more on the platform side than with Buffer itself, but nevertheless it is frustrating. In addition, Instagram features can be limiting, for example, not being able to schedule a video publication (or choosing a suitable cover image for the video). In general, these drawbacks are only slight and do not prevent me from loving Buffer.
As a person who manages marketing in all fields of a company, including its traditional advertising, website maintenance and content, with HR next door, the buffer has allowed me to stay up to date with social networks without worries. I can take a day every few weeks and implement a plan that will run in the background while other tasks consume me. It's a real lifesaver.
The best thing Buffer provides us is posts scheduling feature, it's really useful to get our blog posts live at a given time and I can even schedule posts for many days. Overall, Buffer is a must have for Social Media users who can't spend waking every hour to post.
Honestly there isn't a lot I dislike about Buffer but sometimes the hashtag lists didn't displayed correctly and errors can be shown when tagging someone's profile. Overall, these cons are only very small ones and it won't stop me from using Buffer.
Using Buffer our overall productivity is greatly increased, after using it we don't have to waste time to manually schedule each post on every social media channel and we can also use both of our mobile and pc's for this job.
The UX is simple and easy to navigate. Very user friendly.
The fact that Buffer Reply and Analyze are (somewhat) separate platforms so it doesn't feel all inclusive in the user experience.
When I used it at my former employer (working on-site with the client), we used it as an enterprise platform where 50+ users were able to create and publish content on their social media channels.
I love how easy it is to schedule things when there will be decent traffic. It takes the guesswork out of when to post. I also like how it automatically shortens links, has built-in analytics, and avoids signing in multiple places to cross-post.
I used to dislike the lack of Instagram integration, but that's improved. That integration still isn't as seamless as the twitter/facebook integrations, but it's getting there. Sometimes Buffer gets weird about images.
It makes it more expedient to manage social media as a side-job. I have more time to do my main job. It also helps me map out the social media posts for the entire week in one sitting and on one platform.
