Multipurpose tool that is 1010

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

In our small non-profit business, I wear a lot of hats: marketing, resource development, fundraising, social media, website content, etc. That said, when I have to post one thread of material across multiple social media platforms, it only makes sense to do this via Loomly. It's a wonderful service that is easy to use.

Pros

  • Social Media
  • Hashtag
  • Collaborations with multiple software programs

Cons

  • Credit $$ qualifications via META

Return on Investment

  • One subscription meets all my complex needs

CaseWorthy

Great simple tool for a fair price

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I use Loomly to manage and post on a variety of clients' LinkedIn pages. I manage about 10 different accounts on it, scheduling out about 2 posts weekly for each. Loomly addresses a few key issues I have with typical social management: - A streamlined approval process. Loomly allows you to send posts through a few tiers of review before sending something out. - I share a lot of links, and I like that Loomly let's you shorten, and even remove, the link. It will instead hyperlink whatever photo you use, which is much cleaner looking on a feed. - Love the calendar view and ability to view exactly what's scheduled over the course of the month. Super useful in holding myself accountable!

Pros

  • Reviewing and approvals between teammates
  • Removing links and instead hyperlinking featured images when sharing a webpage
  • Viewing the month of posts in Calendar view

Cons

  • There are issues with tagging people or companies on LinkedIn within the platform sometimes.
  • Sometimes photos will upload blurry.
  • Not a lot of analytics tools like competitors.

Return on Investment

  • Unable to track analytics, outside of comments/likes

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I absolutely love Loomly. I've found it helpful for productivity, saving valuable meeting time and allowing myself to schedule content quickly and effectively. I love their calendar view as well. Great to see the pipeline of what you are working on and how content is performing on different channels. I would 100% recommend it to anyone!

Pros

  • AI transcription of videos
  • Naming title of topic / outlining what the video is about
  • Saving and exporting video to send to co workers
  • Integrates well with other apps (teams, slack, etc)

Cons

  • Processing time - sometimes my videos take a bit to load
  • Maybe more organized libraries that can be put into sub folders (ie. training, support, etc)

Return on Investment

  • Increased productivity and boosted sales
  • Less time spent training, more time spent designing
  • ROI has been seen in time saved, productivity increased, and saving library for future training for new hires

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I use Loomly to schedule social media content in 45-day batches across several platforms. I use the analytics function to pull data to create monthly KPI reports for clients. Clients also have access to the platform to communicate with me in real time about edits that need to be made.

Pros

  • Social media analytics
  • Scheduling content
  • Providing blogs with valuable information for social media managers

Cons

  • Ability to change the background
  • Takes a while to create a drafted post for scheduling
  • More post ideas around holidays and observances

Return on Investment

  • Quicker scheduling times for clients.
  • Easy to pull social media analytics from one place instead of different platforms.
  • Can communicate with clients and colleagues in real time for editing purposes.
