PromoRepublic

I'd be lost without it!

Kommentare: Scheduling my posts across various social media platforms via PromoRepublic saves me hours of time. What's not to love!

Vorteile:

I got PromoRepublic via an Apsumo deal over 5 years ago and I'm impressed how it has improved in that time.

Nachteile:

Things don't often go to plan and over the years I've had a variety of problems. BUT: their customer support is fantastic and based on past experience I know they'll fix it.

PromoRepublic Nailed It

Kommentare: We needed a way to manage our client social media posts and our own and we had trialled several different applications that promised to do just that and all were pretty much similar but the fell down on areas that PromoRepublic nailed immediately - ease of use, look and feel and the creation process was great as soon as we logged in. Support has been great and responsive and if there has been an issue, the workaround can be discovered most times by ourselves and doesn't require a code degree to do it. New users in the company are up and running with the basics in about 10 minutes flat and that is just great.

Vorteile:

The way the software menus are laid out makes it very clear how to use this software and the suggested Posts Ideas are a great starting point to help you develop a strategy for the coming days, weeks and months for your own or your client social posts. The Editor is a breeze to use and allows pretty much all the customisation you would ever need and the fact that you can upload your own images created outside of the software to use in a post pretty much covers all bases.

Nachteile:

The Post Ideas are broken into Categories and for us, as a Tech company their offerings aren't great under the Technology category but having said that, they are a great idea sparker and often form the template for something we do - text content being changed. We sometimes find on a rare occasion, we get logged out and it asks us for our password and even though it's not been changed it won't accept the password we use. We have to reset the password and if we use the same one, it accepts it and lets us in. It's not a deal-breaker, just annoying as it always happens when I want to do something ;)

Great product when it works, but very inconsistent with a lot of issues

Kommentare: Facebook posts work perfectly
Our account manager tries her absolute best, and is bombarded with numerous complaints. Unfortunately there is no way for anyone to help other than the developers, and at that point it's almost laughable because nothing has been working. Every time they say they made an update, three more things break. It's a good idea, but the software isn't ready. They're selling products that aren't 100% working consistently. The monthly payment for using the service is pricey, for the actual value we get. We might as well post manually every single day, because we're watching the accounts so closely to see if there are any errors, and then having to correct those errors.

Vorteile:

I like the fact we can create graphics on the fly, inside the editor. We handle numerous client accounts, and our entire team works on the platform daily.

Nachteile:

There are massive amount of problems with this software. The site is very buggy. We have had more problems than what the product is worth at this point. The software will not post consistently to Instagram using the IG Direct feature. Access to accounts constantly need to be reconnected. The app that they use to connect accounts doesn't work very well, and errors out. The Instagram posts have been duplicated. There is no feature to notify anyone if a post didn't go through, other than manually going back into each account and looking to make sure each post went through. Our agency is located in the USA, and Customer Service is located in Ukraine, or there about. Trying to get support is extremely difficult, and the response time is slow.

Social Posting Made Simple

Kommentare: PromoRepublic allows us to keep our brand in front of our audience. We can update our audience with relevant topics and ideas of interest and generate traffic to our website. A recent Pin went viral and increased our traffic by 300%. PromoRebublic provides us with analytics on this as well as a simple mechanism to repeat this process. We primarily use Pinterest and Facebook as out social marketing platforms and this is done all in the one place with PromoRebublic.

Vorteile:

PromoRepublic provides a one stop place for all your Social Media publishing needs. Simple to connect all types of Social accounts and schedule posting at dates and times to suit your audience. Select from a fully functioning editor to create your own posts from scratch, or use their huge base of templates. Trending and seasonal post ideas such are also provided for a wide range of markets and platforms. Detailed analytics is provided on all your posts. The pricing is scalable and much better than the competitors.

Nachteile:

The calendar showing your scheduled posts is seperate for each platform and in the case of Pinterest for each of your boards. A consolidated calendar showing all scheduled posts across platforms and Pinterest boards would be nice to have.

Simply the best all-in-one social media marketing platform

Kommentare: As I said, using one tool instead of few different tools is a pure pleasure - we save time, and definitely save money. Plus the library of content ideas and templates is so unique - no other social media tool has anything similar.

Vorteile:

We found all we need - from content creationg and tons of post ideas and templates, to automatic scheduling to 5 main social channels (Fb, Tw, Inst, Li, Pin). Using one tool to manage all our social media campaigns is a pure pleasure.

Nachteile:

No video content and templates. You can upload your own videos, and gifs, but they don't have pre-designed video templates. Let's see if they add some.

Perfect for Social Media

Vorteile:

It's an everything product making social media into a fun job rather than a task.

Nachteile:

Any issues I've had were cleared up quickly with their support. They have a Trello board so you can see what's being done in future development.

Product Review

Kommentare: No complaints it has been well worth the investment and the customer service has been awesome!

Vorteile:

I love the templates, ease of use, and the recommendations on when to post what type of content. Also having all accounts under one software is a huge time saver!

Nachteile:

Instagrams discount a lot and I do not know until they don't post.

Social media management at its best

Kommentare: Very easy to use, filled with amazing content. Posting to all your profiles problem free.

Vorteile:

This is amazing software for all cross platforms of social media. The ability to receive awesome content planned for you and post suggestions.

Nachteile:

The pricing can be a bit high for countries outside of the us ( exchange rate. Make it for some impossible to afford.)

Time Saver for Creating Visual Content

Kommentare: PromoRepublic helps me save time by being able to create all the assets I need to schedule social media posts for my clients.

Vorteile:

You can schedule a post, create the visuals, along with the text posts all in one tool. Before I would have to make illustrations in one tool and then create and schedule posts in another tool.

Nachteile:

Would be nice to have direct scheduling in business Instagram profiles, but that's a limitation on the Instagram side.

My Review

Vorteile:

It's super easy to use and I have received superior customer service from Vita.

Nachteile:

Adding scheduled posts to Instagram was a little inconvenient, but now that has been updated so I am happy.

A social media tool that does it all

Kommentare: As a marketing manager, it's important for me to understand how my campaigns are performing. PromoRepublic streamlines this process and makes it easy for me to stay on top of my company's marketing efforts. I've been able to track the ROI of each campaign and increase engagement across multiple platforms with ease. It's a great analytics tool that I would highly recommend!

Vorteile:

Posts can be saved so that you don't have to recreate them if you want to reuse older content or use them on multiple accounts.

Nachteile:

It would be nice if there were more templates and pictures available for less popular niches. In comparison with other online editors, the editor is lacking some crucial features.

PromoRepublic makes social media simple

Kommentare: The customer service is outstanding at PromoRepublic. When we first began using the program, our team had lots of questions, but PromoRepublic took the time to answer each one fully and politely. I still ask one question every week, but the software is now so simple for me, that my questions are usually about certain graphics.

Vorteile:

As a media company, we want to present our content in the best way possible and then distribute to social media. Our company did a great job engaging our members on Facebook, but Twitter, Instagram and Pinterest were more difficult for us until we found PromoRepublic. PromoRepublic has ideas for social media posts every day with pre-made graphics that you can use as-is or edit to include your logo or change photos/text. Our time is valuable and PromoRepublic helped us get more of it back, and we even use it for Facebook now as well, but it is especially useful for the more difficult Pinterest and Instagram posting routines.

Nachteile:

I would like to have direct publishing with Instagram, but PromoRepublic makes it easy by simply allowing you to authorize posts in a very easy to use app.

One of my Favorite Tools to Use

Vorteile:

I’ve used a bunch of different products in the past to help me schedule posts on Social Media and so far Promo Republic is my go to tool. The scheduling works well, and I like how the calendar layout is set out for each account, the ability to write notes and plan posts ahead of time is good for me as well. It also has the built in editor and post ideas to help you create interesting posts for whatever you want. While you can’t post directly to Instagram, you can however schedule posts and have them appear in the Promo Republic app on your phone, with a couple of clicks your post with all of your text is published, this is the feature I use the most.

Nachteile:

A con for me is that the ideas for posts and seasonal post ideas are all set for the Northern Hemisphere, not ideal for me in the Southern Hemisphere. It would be good if it could change and be more relevant to where someone is located. After scheduling a post, you then have to click and go back to the calendar view, I really want for it to have the option of creating another post straight away.

A must-have tool for agency business

Kommentare: Promorepublic saves a lot of time and money for our agency, and it allowed us to scale our business. All in all, it's a great social media marketing and management tool for any business.

Vorteile:

Promorepublic has everything an agency need to run social media marketing for clients - content and post ideas, scheduling tool, reporting, and what's most important - collaboration tools. We can work closely with our clients now, and also with the team. It saves so much time!

Nachteile:

I wish they had more support representatives to answer in less than 10 minutes, sometimes we need an advice asap. Not a big problem though.

Great timesaver!

Kommentare: Productivity and time savings.

Vorteile:

What I like most about PromoRepublic is that it allows me to schedule the posting of my social media posts in an automated manner. My audience hangs out on Linkedin, facebook, and twitter, so it fulfills my needs. The tool comes with an integrated optimal timing tool that figures out the right time to schedule posts. PromoRepublic also offers post suggestions on how to repurpose the headline for different social networks. It also allows light image editing kind of like a photoshop lite, although I don't use it that much.

Nachteile:

I don't really have many cons to state as PromoRepublic is a tool that I use only occasionally. A few nice things to have would be a broader selection of post ideas (I find that their suggestions are often formulaic and have a repetitive tone) and some more advanced reporting ability.

Game Changer for Social Media Graphics and Content

Vorteile:

Just one thing? PR has become my go-to for high quality graphics, catchy graphics and out of the box content. The ability to schedule right from the site, or from my Hootsuite account is a major plus.

Nachteile:

Only negative is that there isn't much content for my niche - babies and children, families. Early childhood education. Most content pieces are related to home, travel or fashion and a bit outdated. Once they start adding new content, especially articles, this will change to a pro.

It's a win for us to have PR as an Indian agency managing clients in the US

Kommentare: We're able to manage our clients in the US without any hassle.

Vorteile:

It gives us to schedule posts for a number of clients and different platforms for them. Also, it has a design tool inbuilt which helps to design creatives there itself. Their templates base is awesome and everygrowing. Plus there are latest templates according to the event happening in the world. Their calender is awesome. Helps you plan your event related posts quickly and without leaving the tool.

Nachteile:

Their stats are messed up. Although we use a different tool for stats, but would love if they improved the page + posts statistics. So it would be easier for us to create reports as well. Also, their calendar is very much focused to the US only. If it were for other countries, it would have been the best tool for us.

Definitely worth the price for marketers for any size company

Kommentare: It makes it very easy to have content to share on social media.

Vorteile:

The constant updates of readily made events oriented and topical visual promotional materials for Instagram, Facebook, Pinterest and Twitter is fantastic.

Nachteile:

Please get an app! The webapp is not terrible, but for those of us that prefer to do things on the fly, it would make a ton of sense to have a valuable APP!

Great social media management software

Kommentare: Very good.

Vorteile:

I love that I can schedule my social media presence however far in advance I'd like. I often do one month at a time.

Nachteile:

I wish it was less expensive for a solopreneur like myself.

Happy Promorepublic customer for last 7 months.

Kommentare: I use it almost daily to schedule my start-up social media posts. It helps me in ideating, designing and publishing the post on time. I

Vorteile:

-The easy to use social post designing feature - Super fast and great dashboard -Social media scheduling and calendar support 100,000+ ready-made visual ideas

Social Media Automation on Steroids

Vorteile:

PromoRepublic is the one-stop​ social media management service. It has all the things that you need from the finding ideas process​, image editing, post scheduling and posting to multiple accounts, down to the analytics.

Nachteile:

​The service claims that you can automate your social media campaigns by spending only one hour a month. While some users could to pull it off, you might need to spend more time to manage your campaigns. But it would be time worth spending on.

PromoRepublic Review

Kommentare: I manage social media marketing for several clients and using PromoRepublic has allowed me to automate that process efficiently. I am very pleased with the amount of content available to use and customize for my clients. The customer support is very attentive and the response time is quick.

Vorteile:

I like the amount of content at my disposal to use. The software is constantly being updated with features that make it easier to use.

Nachteile:

I don't like that I am not able to post directly with Instagram.

Almost Anyone Can be a Social Media Expert

Kommentare: Very simple to use

Vorteile:

Not quite exactly but promorepublic has loads of hints to guide through its users to have a goal-getting social campaign. From Post Ideas to pre-designed post templates, all we need to do is to change the images and re-write the headlines. The social calendar is impressive as it gives a clear overview of what has been posted across our different social channels.

Nachteile:

The only thing we would love to have is google my business integration. This is an important feature as we can expect its growth anytime soon after Google+ got permanently removed.

How I Improved My PromoRepublic Usage

Kommentare: Overall, PromoRepublic as a product is fine and I recommend it. But honestly, if it was not for representative from PromoRepublic support, I would have cancelled my subscription. Management is lacking in many fields and support gets the heat. PromoRepublic should feel very fortunate to have Representative onboard.

Vorteile:

The frequent webinars that are available are amazing. Very convenient. Honestly, after have attended one I got the hand of it already. But if you want to refresh your mind, there is always a webinar soon. Planning your social campaigns could not be simpler.

Nachteile:

The way PromoRepublic "promoted" or "promised" some new features to existing customers and then turned 180 degrees, gave me, and still does a bad feeling. Poor management and terrible communications skills.

Effective Social Media Management Platform

Vorteile:

I really like the way it facilitates social media content creation. The calendar helps a lot to remember important days/holidays that make it easier for one to generate specialized content. The dashboard is easy to handle and keeps everything well organized. The webinars can be helpful too!

Nachteile:

There's a lack of stock content... (at least for my industry). Most of the pictures we find on free stock photo sites are the ones that appear on the platform. It would be nice to have a better quality of stock images.
