    There needs to be a cost-benefit analysis to determine the value we are getting. Once we are able to see that the advocacy is resulting in sales/registration we can provide a more accurate score.

    Insightpool
    I recommend Insightpool for anyone looking to build and maintain a relevant follower pool on Twitter as well as anyone that wishes to use Twitter for event recruitment, white paper downloads, etc. With a small team, I strongly recommend the full-service model, especially when you first get started. It's like having an in-house social team when you opt for full-service and has enabled us to do much more on Twitter than was previously possible with our small team.

    Insightpool
    • Initial iterations of the tool were buggy and not all that intuitive, which is why we moved to a full-service model. More recent releases are much more intuitive and less buggy.
    • The tool was limited before its ability to search Twitter steams, but now with stream search, we do not feel hindered in anyway.
    • Personally, I'm not a fan of public message targeting. Use with caution. The DM feature works great and is very well received by our audience however.

    Unsure whether cost justifies the purchase, or whether Hootsuite as an entire product line will continue to meet our needs

    Just renewed for the rest of the year. Pricing is very reasonable especially when you compare it to the cost of paid Twitter campaigns. And, Insightpool campaigns have consistently outperformed direct Twitter campaigns.

    We've used sponsored Tweets via Twitter directly with limited success. We don't see the same level of engagement or types of followers with paid Twitter promos as we do with Insightpool campaigns. Additionally, we receive a fair amount of negative feedback when we use sponsored tweets as they tend not to be as targeted as running Insightpool campaigns
