My company exists within the Hospitality & Tourism industry where we provide Marketing and Event Planning services. SAP Cloud for Social Engagement helps me gain insight into how my vendors and clients feel about my company's brands, categories, products and services while remaining up-to-date with current market issues and trends.

Tailwind
Tailwind is perfect for a small marketing shop where you simply need to be able to queue up Instagram posts. It works for Pinterest as well, but that's not a platform we use very often. It is very helpful to be able to plan out and visualize an entire IG series of posts in advance, and very few other scheduling platforms work with Instagram's API these days. I haven't delved deeply into the analytics tools, but I believe they would be very useful as well for a larger organization.

Pros
SAP
  • Communication with multiple social media accounts including Facebook,Twitter and LinkedIn.
  • Utilize social preconfigured templates to respond quickly to current and potential clients.
  • Go above and beyond the number of Twitter followers and Facebook likes. Gain real-time insight into key trends and topics being discussed.

  • The extension for Chrome and Safari has been EXTREMELY helpful. Through research and continuing education, we frequently see information we'd like to share with our audience and the extension has made this so easy.
  • The SmartLoop feature is great for times when we get busy and may not have the time to add new things to our queue. I know even if I had zero time to devote to social media that day, I was still active and getting information to our candidates.
  • Interface is extremely user friendly. A lot of time these programs that are supposed to help us and bring ease to our workload are so complicated and intense that they cause more stress than they relieve. This is not true with Tailwind. Tailwind is easy to use and truly does take a load of stress off us as an organization.

Cons

  • Include more ready to use templates
  • Add more metrics within reports being pulled

  • When you add a link to your post and add the caption, it goes to the first line and not where I had the cursor. I do not want the link to be the first thing people read.
  • The Tailwind Create is fun and helpful but still hard to use.

I have received wonderful support from Tailwind. Recently when I was on their new Tailwind Create and was looking at their site photos, I had a question and I received an answer in less than 24 hours. They have also been receptive to comments and ideas to make the product better and they used some of the ideas as well giving us a discount for the help.

The SAP solution is more complete than others because it includes capabilities for social media listening, real-time social media message response, social profiles and history, and analytics in one system.

At this time our marketing team does have and uses both Hootsuite and Tailwinds, but for Pinterest and blog management/analytics, Tailwind is superior. We chose tailwinds based on the excellent reviews and also the need we had to manage our creative outlets better.

  • Definitely an ROI - We have increased our clicks on our website due to traffic from Pinterest, primarily from our Smart Loop.
  • We have increased Pinterest following due to our intensive use of Smart Loop, which has led to #1 (increased website traffic).
  • Organization and time management has been a massive advantage of utilizing Tailwind. Because I can set Smart Loop and not worry about it, I can dedicate my time to other areas of the business.
