2. CrazyEgg
It’s nice to see what your customers are doing on your website, but what is making them leave?
CrazyEgg is an inexpensive, easy-to-install tool that shows you where visitors click, how far down the page they scroll, and much more. It also shows you a heatmap for each page you want to track.
You study those heatmaps to make decisions as to how to improve your site – how to make it better at giving visitors what they’re looking for. It is an essential tool for understanding the behavior of all your potential customers.
3. Canva

Canva’s user-friendly interface allows small business owners to choose from a myriad of ready-to-use templates. The best part is that you can create it all for free in Canva!
4. Mailchimp, Constant Contact or aWeber
Having a web-based email marketing service provider helps you design email newsletters, share them on social networks, integrate with services you already use, and track your results.
This kind of service is used for creating and sending professional email newsletters or advertisements to your list of subscribers. Opt in forms on your website will feed into these lists so you can continue to build the know, like and trust factor with them.
Email marketing is one of the best ways to boost your user engagement and profits. Mailchimp, Constant Contact and aWeber are just a few options to consider when signing up for this service.

5. Buffer or Hootsuite
With so many tools and platforms to utilize for your social media marketing, it can become overwhelming when trying to decide which one is best for your small business.
Buffer, Hootsuite and other similar online social media management tools allow you to manage all of your accounts from one dashboard, which saves you both time and frustration.
These tools share your content at the best possible times throughout the day, so your followers and fans see your updates more often. It’s a smarter and more efficient way to schedule and share your Social Media posts.
The best part about these tools is the built-in analytics system. For successful social media marketing, you need to know what works and what doesn’t work. The analytics will help you find when your social media posts make the most impact.
Using tools like these in your business helps greatly with your ultimate goal of generating more sales.
And if you are overwhelmed already and the thought of incorporating more on your to-do list is too much, contact our digital marketing professionals here https://evisionmedia.ca/contact/contact/ at eVision Media to help with your online marketing and social media needs.
