VerticalResponse unveils social toolset

"VerticalResponse Social makes it easier than ever for small businesses to share content across email and social media and also engage with their customers, because now they can do it all from the integrated dashboard," said VerticalResponse CEO Janine Popick. "They can choose curated content from our automatic feeds or their own content, then create and schedule a campaign that's spread through both email and social media to amplify their message. They also can manage social conversations and deepen their engagement with their customers."

Using VerticalResponse Social brands can:

• Create, schedule and publish social media content across social channels for up to 30 days
• Share content across channels
• Direct content feeds to share with social communities
• View, respond and track comments, replies, etc. from social media

One example from VerticalResponse - a restaurant owner could schedule social media posts highlighting a limited-time menu, launch an email campaign for that menu and promote the menu from the VerticalResponse dash. Once launched, the business would receive reports and metrics about the campaign in the same dashboard, making it simpler to update and tweak campaigns on the fly.

The platform is free for the first 30 days, giving SMBs a window to try the suite and determine if it will work for them.
