Thanks for those resources!

I agree, automation is good in some cases but in most it’s not.

I think it’s important to respond and have real conversations with users/customers. It’s just finding the time to do it and to schedule it, especially if small businesses don’t have a dedicated social media employee.

I think that’s where some of the SM tool available would help in certain situations.

All in all, thanks for the great post. I can see this really helping for my clients.

I haven’t used that service, but it looks like it might be good for organization and aggregation of data. SocialOomph and HootSuite have free services that are helpful as well.

As far as automation goes for sending out communications, I think it’s good in some cases, not so good in others. People want to interact with people.

That said, I think it’s just a matter of monitoring and replying to responses to automated communications as needed, and also sprinkling in some impromptu conversation from time to time.

I usually need to schedule my client’s SM campaign on a monthly basis. It does take some time but I was thinking about using a third party service like social sprout.

Any suggestions?

Jerry
