Crowdbooster (discontinued) vs. WiseStamp

Before recommending Crowdbooster, I'd want to know what goals they hope to accomplish with the software. Then I would want them to specifically identify what types of metrics would be most useful to their program. If they specifically need to report out on how many people in a certain location they reached, this isn't the right fit. If they are using other tools, there may be duplication. However, if they are currently using more budget-friendly solutions or just getting started with a new program, Crowdbooster is a perfect fit. It will help you to grow your program and is flexible enough to accommodate your needs.

Again, WiseStamp solved all of the problems I've had with other email signature creators in the past. The links work, the images display correctly, the design and layout remain intact, and everything I want and need for my signature is great with WiseStamp. I highly recommend WiseStamp to anyone looking for a well-crafted email signature and anyone who counts on their email signature to display as intended.

• Timed social media posts - Crowdbooster provides the opportunity to schedule social media posts allowing you to work on other important social media tasks.
• Simply beautiful tracking - There are millions of ways to measure social media impact. Crowdbooster offers the most important and relevant measurements in simplified charts..
• Great UI - Crappy UI = crappy experience. Crowdbooster's UI is easy to navigate. It won't take months to learn where all the buttons are.

• Professional Email Signatures - the designs a person can create with WiseStamp are definitelt sleek and modern. They have a variety of templates with a fair amount of customisation and a possibility to design your own template for an extra fee.
• Centralized Signature Management - WiseStamp provides a platform for organizations to manage email signatures for all employees from a single dashboard. There is customisability on how much the company hires their employees to be a part of email signature editing, which is very useful to keep the whole feel of the organization on brand as tailored as possible.
• Social Media Integration - allows the inclusion of clickable social media icons in signatures, encouraging engagement on platforms like LinkedIn, Instagram, or Facebook. That is one of the main aspects why we chose WiseStamp as well - since these custom clickable links are very hard to create in any other way.
• Dynamic Content - whether it is changing photos or different banners, that can be updated without modifying the signature design. This is super useful Useful for marketing campaigns, special offers, or events.

• The ranked order of twitter followers and the number of "tweet impressions" did not help that much. Those "tweet impressions" were not really an estimate of how many people were actually reading my tweet. It was simply a sum of followers of the person retweeting a tweet and the sum of all followers from a subsequent retweet of the initial retweet. All this told me was the best case scenario I could expect if ALL followers of a person that retweeted saw my tweet. This is not a true measure of "twitter footprint" – since the “signal to noise” ratio in Twitter is very low.
• There was no system in place to track "clicked links" for links embedded in tweets and/or facebook wall posts. Hootsuite did a good job of this – but only for twitter.
• The list of recommended times to tweet were always "on the hour" (i.e. 10 a.m, 1 p.m.). Never were the times ever at "half past the hour" etc. An independent study that I did on my own using Google Analytics (and campaign links using google's URL builder) helped me determine that my optimal "Tweet time" during the week is 3:30 p.m. ET. More importantly, the recommended times seemed to be roughly the same on the weekends - which I find strange given that social media behavior does change on the weekends.
• Occasionally, in my facebook ranked table of "loyal fans", I would see people in there that had not "liked" or "commented" on a post for months at a stretch and the "look back" period of the table was only around 7 days or so. Hence, I occasionally had to question the accuracy of that table.

• I'd like to see more template options.
• I want the logo and team photo to appear in line with each other. Currently, they appear in two different sizes.
• I want it to be easier to change the employee photo on each signature.

Simple to use and a great value for what it offers. It has a simple but clean interface and it provides fantastic historical data you can use to measure your efforts online. By using a tool like Crowdbooster, you can see what is working with your audience and what isn't. From there, you can start tweaking your strategies

I love it... Wouldn't use anything else

I found it fairly intuitive and easy to use. The information is laid out cleanly, and the most important information appears at a glance on the home page. However, I have worked with other users who had a hard time switching between platforms and identifying where other information was buried. It's not always clear that something is a clickable button! The option to export results is also a bit buried, and not integrated with the date range option.

My recommendation for anyone starting with WiseStamp for the first time is to go super simple. Spend no more than 15 minutes, if even that long, throwing something together. Use that for a couple of weeks and then if you'd like to add some more tricked-out features, go for it but it really isn't necessary. While WiseStamp can do a lot, great design is in the simplicity. So, think of who is going to see the info and craft it with them in mind as more isn't always better. Remember, it's just the gist of who you are and not your resumé.

I do not think it is as supported as it once was when it first arrived on the social media scene. It is an older platform whose main functionality may have already ran its course.

If you can demo a free trial, that is definitely the best way to see if this will fit your program's specific needs.

It is a platform that is singularly focused. It does not have a lot of the additions that come stock with other platforms such as robust reporting or deeper insights past schedule times. It is also a stand-alone platform and a lot of its primary functionality can be found in more encompassing platforms.

CodeTwo is much more customizable and offers a wider range of integrated scenarios, so I guess it fits larger companies better. However, managing it was way too complex for us (non-IT guys). Our choice was mainly technical because they range in a similar price.

• Increased efficiency. I am able to generate useful snapshot reports in seconds. Particularly useful when you need answers fast (such as on a phone call).
• Peace of mind. I am able to compare the data in Crowdbooster to what is exported from Facebook and Twitter.
• Quicker, simpler evaluation of results. I am able to more easily compare impressions with engagement data to see what is working, and what should change. Particularly useful in day-to-day analysis.

• I have increased my calendar bookings from outreach emails by more than 200%
• It makes it easier for people to schedule time with me when multiple people are involved as they can see my availability by clicking the link.
• I have had customers that have not used me for a period of time book time out of the blue by going back to one of my old emails and seeing the scheduling link there
• I use the banner tool whenever there is a promotion or to promote some of my sponsor brands to my clients without them even realising they are getting "adverts"
