When it comes to adopting new software services for your campaign, there are two important factors to consider. First, does it help you with something you’re already doing? Avoid a solution in search of a problem.
Second, does it produce an output greater than its input – leverage? The software should either make you more efficient or more effective – maybe even both.
Here are eight digital marketing tools that will boost your digital campaign and are worth using.
Scribe
You already know that email is one of the most important marketing channels for your campaign, but adding an email signature to all of your messages is an easy way to drive additional action.
Use the opportunity when you’re in someone’s inbox to get an email signup, SMS opt-in, or social media followers. Use Scribe to create professional email signatures across your entire campaign.
Meta Tags
Before you share a link on social media, use Meta Tags to see how it will appear on different platforms. Check to ensure the image, headline, and preview text are all as you’d like them to be and optimized for clicks. A WordPress plugin like Yoast SEO will help you edit any details.

The best part for busy campaigners is the Newsy site can be completely automated.
Nifty Images

Video To Article
As the name implies, Video To Article takes a video – say a Facebook Live or Instagram Story – and turns it into a written article that can be used for email or a blog post. You’ll get additional reach from the content and added benefits of SEO.
