HootSuite is used primarily as a Twitter tool (although it does more than just Twitter), whereas Sendible is an all-around online marketing tool.

Sendible offers services that HootSuite does not including the ability to offer white label social media management and resell Sendible to your clients under your own brand. We also offer rebranding of your Facebook and Twitter posts so that they won’t say “via Sendible”. I have put together a list of the features and services that Sendible supports as well as those that HootSuite supports below.

In summation, HootSuite is a very useful social media tool, but if you are looking to do more than just basic social media and want to delve into online marketing, Sendible will be your best bet. For an unbiased second opinion, check out Max Goldberg’s blog post entitled “Hootsuite vs. Sendible, or Why Paying To Use Facebook Is Amazing” as well as this comparison post from Inkstained Knuckle.

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.

What type of Sendible account do you have?
What made you decide to use Sendible?
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.

Visit http://sendible.com or email info@sendible.com for more information on how Sendible can help you better manage your social media, with our all-in-one dashboard.
If you’d like us to publish an interview about how your company is using Sendible, please send an email to heidi@sendible.com.

With our white label social media tool, you have the option to manage social media on behalf of your clients, or train them up and allow them to log in themselves and manage their own social media accounts.  Sendible is a great tool to help implement a social media strategy for your customers.

The way the white label site works is as follows:

  • We create and host a completely re-branded site for your business/agency – with your own logo, look-and-feel – running on your own website domain, but hosted on our servers.
  • We give you a control panel where you can administer your site. From here, you can manage your existing clients and create new logins for your clients.
  • Your clients can log in to your white label site themselves and view reports, send social media posts, track mentions etc – or you have the option to manage things for them from your control panel.
  • We create a Facebook and Twitter application for your business so that all Facebook and Twitter posts are re-branded.
  • For examples of white labels we’ve done before, take a look at http://account.loopedmarketing.com and http://sbm.vertmob.com.
  • There is a one-off setup fee for the white-label site which includes re-branding and indefinite hosting on our servers.
