What is Sprout Social?

Sprout Social is a social media management tool.

Why is this tool helpful?

This tool optimizes social media tools and combines them into one platform - similar to Hootsuite. 

Sprout Social’s analytical features are extremely extensive. Based on keywords and trends used by followers and influencers, the user can monitor conversations on all platforms. This leads to conversations and prompt responses to posts by the user.

Customer Relationship Management (CRM) features are also offered. This feature is helpful because it keeps track of conversation history and records consumer data (including information to help start a conversation). The CRM system offers methods to communicate clearly between team members about insights, accountability, and profiles of clients. Customizing the audience is an important and useful feature that Sprout Social offers as well.

Publishing is made easier due to the visual calendar, tagging, message approval feature, and analytical tracking. The analytics prepare ready-to-go reports regarding engagement allowing for a more thorough analysis of content shared.

The tool ultimately streamlines social media processes and leads to a more collaborative group effort.
