We are an online marketing firm that covers all aspects of online marketing. That being said, a lot of our work is based around social media. We create, maintain & monitor out clients’ profiles.
Who are some of your clients?
The Detroit Tigers, The North American International Auto Show, CBS Detroit, Valvoline Oil (in MI and OH) to name a few.
We needed a way of scheduling our posts and including other members of our team; our white label has allowed us to do that. We also decided on the white label because we wanted our Facebook link to read “via Severely Social” for both liability reasons and exposure. Our rebranded posts can be seen on our Facebook Fan Page.
How was Sendible able to address those issues?
Well, we use the scheduler for client posts, which saves us a lot of time. The custom rebranding of the “via Severely Social” link has given us added exposure to potential clients which is always good. We love that Sendible allows you to do a link preview for Facebook, because some of the other services we tried did not allow that.
What have been the results of using Sendible for your business?
Our business is much more efficient, organised and lean now that we use Sendible. Sendible really does save us a lot of time. Sendible also allows us to track current and previous campaigns all in one place which just makes our lives so much easier.
