Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We use Oktopost to share my company posts on Linkedin. I have access to a board with already prepared posts, and I share them on LinkedIn, choosing a "share now" or a "pick up date and time" or a very nice feature called "automagically share." This is very useful to share my company stories with the audience.

  • Quick sharing.
  • Pick a date when you want the story will be posted.
  • Very easy to use.

Cons

  • Tagging limitations.
  • Missing functionality.
  • Archive or delete obsolete messages.

Return on Investment

  • More visibility of company messages.
  • My company new features can reach huge audience.
  • Improve my visibility on the B2B social media.

Very user friendly tool.

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I was trying to find a tool to fully manage and optimize social media to drive my business forward in a scalable and measurable way. The tool is easy to use and I didn't need any onboarding or extra training. Through Oktopost I could manage all my social media across all channels and I can easily track my pieces of content.

Pros

  • Support is very efficient.
  • The tool is user friendly.
  • The campaign focus is excellent.

Cons

  • The set of the functionalities is relatively standard.

Most Important Features

  • The comprehensive dashboard.

Return on Investment

  • I don't have it measured.

A Simple, Feature-Rich Social Media Posting Tool

Pros

  • Oktopost has a great interface for publishing posts, allowing you to select multiple social media profiles and easily schedule a message across all of them.
  • Oktopost tracks your performance and has an automated tool that will schedule posts for you based on when past posts performed best and it works pretty well.
  • I like the ability to create multiple campaigns easily and quickly. The whole interface is very simple to use and streamlined.

Cons

  • I think the interface navigation could use some better explanation of what everything is, but it is still easy to use once you are used to it.
  • There aren't a ton of issues I've had with Oktopost. It really does what I needed it to do.

Return on Investment

  • Oktopost has saved our editors a lot of time. They can post something to one site or batch schedule multiple posts to multiple sites at one time and Oktopost handles everything really well.
  • We're better able to track performance of our Social Media posts and how they perform with Oktopost.

It's OK to Post with OKTOPOST

Pros

  • Integrations with marketo to know when a social touch converts to a lead
  • Simple way to communicate social pushes to the employees and partners to help get the word out there.

Cons

  • Not really an issue with Oktopost, but would be nice if linkedIn opened their API to allow us to measure the impact of linkedIn posts via social.

Return on Investment

  • hard to tell at this point, only deployed it one month ago.
