Why eclincher is perfect for Agencies

Running an agency of any size can be a very time-consuming ordeal.  You have prospective clients knocking on your door, current clients needing exposure, and past clients looking to re-sign.  Before you know it strikes six, and if you aren’t working the midnight oil for one of your clients’ deliverables, you are commuting home in heavy traffic thinking about the morning ahead.  Repeat ad nauseam.  What if we could save you time, help you scale, and provide a one-stop-shop for all your social media campaign needs.

eclincher is a complete social media tool for content publishing, post scheduling, social media monitoring, social listening, web listening, team collaboration, agency workflow, and analytics.

Client Management

With eclincher you can assign team members to manage specific social media accounts or brands, including separate login credentials.  eclincher allows an agency to successfully manage multiple clients in one dashboard.  It’s easy like Sunday Morning or rather Monday lunch, to add a client’s: Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, LinkedIn, Google My Business, Google+, Pinterest, and YouTube channel to their brand profile. You can even add a Yelp channel or Google Analytics account. Schedule a tweet for Heineken, and with a click of a button, post an infographic for Chanel.

Scheduling

I don’t have to tell you that some posts perform better at certain times of the day, while a post listing delicious Kellogg’s breakfast recipes might lose traction in the evening, a post promoting the latest Burning Man shenanigans might exceed expectations.  eclincher enables you to schedule a post for any time of day, month, or year.

Have viral content from the past on a topic that’s trending right now?  With eclincher you can recycle old content, posting posts you wrote months ago today.  Want to share a tweet this week, and re-share it in the future (e.g. during product launch) you can. What if you want a #tbt( Throwback Thursday) or #fbf (Flashback Friday) series of posts.  eclincher allows you to upload several posts (via a CSV file), add them to your posting calendar, and publish them on specific days.

eclincher lets you view your entire month’s worth of social media posts in calendar view or list view, making it easy to see what you have scheduled.  You can also track individual post performance, telling you which content went the distance, and which still needs maintenance.

Unified Social Inbox

eclincher has a universal inbox where you can see all of your incoming messages and notifications, and respond to your client’s social media interactions, comments, mentions, and new followers, all from one window. You can choose the social media channels/notifications/messages you want to be displayed.  All of your old notifications and messages are archived, and keyword searchable.

You can also tag and organize important items for later reference. E.g. When a client asks about a deadline, you can tag that query, access all the individuals that mentioned the deadline, and follow up with them. You can also check out the Best Agency Social Media Management Tools to make things easy.
