5Essential Tools
When It comes to Social Media
In today’s world of constant connecting and sharing, you cannot
deny that social media is dominating our life. Take a picture of
your lunch and share it on Instagram is a great example.
1. Check your online presence
3. Social Monitoring
5. Trend Monitoring
2. Content Scheduler
4. Analytic tools
EdgeRank Checker is an application to check how healthy is your brand on Facebook,
where is your audience demographic, and when they are most active on the
platform. This application will help you strategize and decide which direction you
should approach when it comes to social media presence.
Mention or Social Mention are perfect for monitoring your brand online. They are free
and user-friendly. Whenever people are talking about your brand, they will notify
you. Too much notification, no prob. You will be able to tailor the alert that suits your
requirement.
Having a presence on social media means being up to date. With trend monitoring
like Google trend will allow you to be on top of things that happen on social media
and around your audience. You can engage your brand with these trends then
eventually broader your audience and brand awareness.
With high-quality content in your hands, why don’t you spread it? Hootsuite and
Buffer are excellent tools to support this. Posting your everyday content one
post at a time is good but how about planning out your content and scheduling it in
advance? Sounds great? These tools will leave you no fuss, just creating a buzz to your
online presence.
Google Analytic and Facebook insight are wonderful for starters and free. Analytic
tools will help you enhance your brand’s reputation. It even breaks down to how

Here are 5 tools that would help you achieve your brand recognition.
BUT HOW CAN
WE EMERGE AS A BRAND
ON SOCIAL MEDIA?
11. Dataanalytics Solutions
DEEP DIVE
INTO CUSTOMER DATA
TO UNCOVER INSIGHTS
AND ACCELERATE GROWTH
WE ANALYZE CUSTOMER DATA
FROM FOUR MAJOR SOURCES
WE BUILD AN INTEGRATED VIEW
OF YOUR CUSTOMERS
Gain insights beyond a silo view of customer data by matching individual
customer responses from market research to their actual behavior gained from
transaction and demographic data
How It Works
Segmentation Based on Transactional and Demographic Data
Pull together all available data from POS, online, customer service,
demographics, billing data, and etc. Clean up those data to do
customer segmentation by using clustering analysis.
Design Research Methodology Based on Behavioral Profiles
Formulate a plan for how attributes are going to be linked through a
database. Define good direct variable and indirect linkage variables to
be included in a questionnaire.
Collect Customer Data from Research Technique (Online or Offline)
Draw a random sample of customers (who fit into behavioral profile) and
collect their data to confirm that our behavioral profiles and algorithms
are accurately identifying attributes that are important to our analysis.
Data Fusion, Validation and Analysis
Merge the research, customer, product and transaction
data together, then, we conduct analysis to uncover
triggers that motivate customers to act they way they do.
17 18
Demographic Data • Transaction Data • Research Data • Social Media Data
We provide customer insights that...
...not only to that customer’s behavior but also
that of other customers sharing similar characteristics
...link customers’ attitudes, views and perception and
how these lead intoobserved behaviours
...overcome weaknesses of each source of data alone
12. No Time To Slack!
At Canvassco, our work takes us across continents. We
use Dropbox to share and sync files seamlessly across
devices to members of the team. The cloud storage
application is like an online folder that we can all have
access to. It’s so simple, it’s perfect.
If you need photos for your next project and you don’t
have the TIME or MONEY, Pexel is the perfect website for
stock photos. Best of all, it’s FREE to use everywhere you
want.
Desk research for the first few days
takes our Business Analysts online,
scavenging through tons and tons of
information to find supportive and
usable data. Evernote allows us to clip
web pages or articles and keep it in one
tidy notebook for each project.
Large scale projects can quickly
become a mess. We love Lucidchart for
its interactive and online diagramming
tool to brainstorm and manage our
projects. Team members can also edit
charts together.
Our DigitalMedia Solutions team loves
this app! We use Buffer to schedule your
posts to all of your social networks to
engage with your customers
or followers.
Not everyone has a degree from design
institutions. Autodesk Graphic is an
illustration application that is fun,
intuitive, and easy-to-use.
It’s all about data nowadays. As companies go online,
Google Analytics is an all-around tool to help analyse
your website visitors and discover what your customers
actually look for.
Pinterest can help you build your inspiration. Photos are
everywhere online but you need somewhere to save
your creative ideas and share them with friends.
