5 Content & Social Media Automation Tools for E-commerce

No wonder that content creation and social media operations are so crucial for all e-commerce brands. 

To increase brand awareness, spread customer education, and earn brownie points from search engines like Google, these operations must be creative & consistent. 

However, building and scaling a D2C e-commerce brand from scratch is a herculean task. Your focus will be divided on critical metrics, marketing, inventory management, roadmaps, and so on. Amidst all this, it is easy to lose track of your content and social media commitments and ensure a uniform, highly consistent brand image online.

Luckily, we have a solution to this challenge!

For your e-commerce business to have an ever-climbing social media growth and content value, you must now automate these operations. 

5 Content and Social Media Automation Tools for E-commerce Businesses

#1. Agorapulse (Social Media Automation)

Agorapulse

If you’ve managed social media ORM for multiple handles before (comments, replies, conversations, etc.), you know how taxing and frustrating it can get. 

Managing conversations on Facebook and replying to comments separately on Twitter, LinkedIn, and Instagram call for a dedicated ORM team. Agorapulse solves this.

Agorapulse beautifully organizes all your conversations, from all the social handles, in one place. You can view, reply, converse, label, and sort all the conversations from different channels within the dashboard. Moreover, you can create and save templates from responding to specifically labeled conversations faster (great for CRM support!). This tool also allows for automated post scheduling and store unlimited queued posts that belong to a particular theme, topic, or category. 

#2. Article Forge (Content Automation)

It is stunning to see how far AI has already advanced, given its nascent stage of development. Besides competent AI-based marketing automation tools like Wigzo, many other tools are coming in every day to make e-commerce operations as efficient and seamless as possible. Article Forge is one such example of AI-based content creation. 

You see, ranking organically on Google’s top search results requires some serious SEO. And, serious SEO requires publishing and submitting unique content every day – to feed the hungry search engine monster. One way to do that is to hire a team of dedicated expert Writers, but at a hefty…very hefty price. 

Article Forge solves this need. Its algorithm extensively studies academic papers, pdfs, and websites for a given topic and churn out 100% unique articles. Article Forge integrates with WordPress, and you can easily automate the publishing of blog articles created by this tool.  

#3. MissingLettr (Social Media Automation)

Missinglettr

You must have written a few blog posts for your brand (or your team might have!). One obvious thing that follows publishing a blog is promoting it. 

Usually, e-commerce brands create content snippets, social media captions, and short blogs from the original blog post to promote it over the relevant handle. However simple it might sound, it is a cumbersome activity that required attention to detail, coherence in the Social Media copies, and hours of work. 

MissingLettr integrates with your existing blog and social media handle – only to monitor your blog 24×7. As soon as it detects a newly published article, it intelligently picks up the context, quotes, content snippets, images, and data from the original blog post. 

MissingLettr then automatically creates social media campaigns to promote that article and boost your content points!

#4. Canva (Visual Content Automation)
