Remember 7 Features to Brand, Market, Manage with MarketMe Tweet? Yup, it’s back again with an updated version MarketMe Tweet V2.0! For those who are hearing it for the first time, it’s a Twitter client equips with branding and marketing features. I’m no marketer but its ‘branding’ ability captivates me since their free app Tweetbrand (was recently pulled to focus on their main product). Imagine if you’re a business promoter, you will do whatever it takes to get your brand out there, reaching out to potential clients as much as you possibly can. MarketMe Tweet is specially designed for the job, see how it’s placing a blog link below my tweet:


I must admit, at first I was a little skeptic about who would actually look at that tiny spot for a web link? Until some of my followers starting to ask how did I place a link to my blog in each tweet, I realized this application has a good chance even for a freelancer like myself!

Of course, it’s not fair to limit MarketMe Tweet capabilities based on my personal preference. Here are other basic features you should know about:

So after using V1 for awhile, I had to find out what are the updated features in the new release. Despite of what has been said in the video, I need to personally try it out to confirm the reliability. Kindly be reminded that this review is based on my personal opinion only and has nothing to do with MarketMe Tweet sponsorship whatsoever. So here goes:


#1  Manageable Interface


I have long hoped for a new interface since I’m a big fan of Tweetdeck and Hootsuite. I can’t be happier with the new columnized interface, a lot easier to view conversations and follow up on Twitter lists. Now we can position, rename, add lists and reload the panes as how we work on any other web/desktop clients!

Remark:

There were times earlier when MarketMe Tweet was unable to retrieve updates – pane returns with ‘No Results’. After referring to their support team I was told that Twitter itself has issues refreshing API limits on certain accounts as explained in this post.


#2  Tweet Branding


Still by far, my personal favorite of the app! This is particularly useful if you are handling multiple Twitter profiles – MarketMe Tweet saves you the trouble to log in and out of the account but manages everything inside the client! You can add multiple brandings for different campaigns or business accounts. The setup is quite simple as indicated in the video (or you can request for a step by step write up and I’ll get it done just for you):

#3  Tweet Scheduling & Bulk Import


Another improved feature that made my day. It has a sleek sliding panel to schedule tweet (with branding), and drop down boxes make sorting easy (today, week, month, year and beyond). It is convenient to check and modify scheduled tweets, even integrate it with your Google Calender:

A new feature by MarketMe Tweet to import tweets (drafts) and schedule them in bulk. For example, you have saved some interesting links in your notepad, instead of scheduling them one by one you can do it in one-go: place %T% in front, and %D% at the back of your tweet, following date and time (24 hours clock format):

Format: %T% Your Message and Link %D% Date Time

Example: %T% 9 Ways to Enhance Your FB Page http://bit.ly/b9rn2w %D% 01/08/2010 22:10:00

Another method is set the intervals between your bulk tweets (tick ‘Use Override Interval’ to set the minutes):

#4  Geo-tagging for Reply Campaigns


Another important feature offered by Marketme Tweet is to setup reply campaigns for targeted individuals. The app makes it easy to find relevant people based on your location, keywords, following by an opportunity to network. Especially when people are expressing interests about your product, your immediate respond via reply templates can earn you firsthand connections when attending to their needs. It’s optional to set the reply templates though, but in case you do, make sure to personalize it well to not spoil your first image.

Marketme Tweet is now using geo-tagging to filter results so you can discover local clients in targeted area.


#5  Contact Management


i)  Auto-Follow Option

If you are eager to connect with followers, MarketMe Tweet provides an easy option to reciprocal by ‘Follow Users Back’.

In additional, you can opt in to receive daily @Mentions Emails for the latest results:

ii)  Follow Users based on keywords

You can bulk or selectively follow users based on reply campaigns keywords.

iii)  Unfollow Users who are not Following You

To bulk unfollow or do it selectively.


#6  Social Accounts Integration


Facebook profile integration is now available in MarketMe Tweet. You can post status updates, comment and like your friends’ updates within the client itself. It supports multiple Facebook accounts so if you are managing facebook profiles for your clients, you can inter-switch between them. I am having difficulty to retrieve my facebook page and just submitted a support ticket for it. Will update the results when it’s fixed.

Some of you may wonder about LinkedIn integration, that is do-able with Ping.fm. All you need is to copy your Ping.fm API Key and insert it here: Settings > Ping.fm

Your Ping.fm configuration controls the number of social accounts that get to update from MarketMe Tweet. Here I only plan to update my LinkedIn status, so click ‘Send All’ to reveal the box, make sure ‘use Ping.fm’ is ticked before ‘Send’:


#7  Auto RSS Feed


It’s thrilling to see MarketMe Tweet is now providing feed management for users. Now you can import your favorite blogs’ RSS feed (or your own) and tweet them either way: automatically or manually via RT to credit the author.

According to MarketMe Tweet Support, if user chose to ‘Automatically Tweet the feed’ their brand won’t be visible. This is due to Twitter rules and kindly refer here for detailed explanations. Currently, the brand works brilliantly but I’m still having slight issues with the RT prefix of original author. Will continue to look into this.

Suggested Read: Twitterfeed, HootSuite RSS Feeds, and Blog Posting Schedules

Overall, I am quite impressed with MarketMe Tweet V2. It’s obvious how much this app has improved and I can see why. I have been communicating with their support team after trying out the app and so far they are fast to respond and most of all, willing to accept customers’ feedback. MarketMe Tweet is still actively updating its service. Although there are still rooms for improvement but let’s not forget it’s a marketing tool fundamentally.

Its upcoming updates including Blog integration (wonder if it’s something similar to Hootsuite?), Plugins, Enhancement for Facebook integration so forth. At the same time waiting for minor fixes to make the app more user friendly and presentable. For further improvement, I would suggest to add:

  • Spelling check
  • Filter Search within pane
  • Ability to post images or files (documents) in future enhancements

Not bad to strive towards social aggregator, don’t you think?


How do I Get MarketMe Tweet V2?


MarketMeTweet is not free. Currently the lowest price is $99/year (free updates, 6 month money back guarantee) with limited time offer. Kindly look for Pricing & Plan here. At the same time, MarketMeTweet offers affiliate program too, check it out if you’re interested.

Have you been using MarketMe Tweet V2? What do you think of the app and if you yet to try it, what do you think of it so far?

Note: MarketMe Tweet has changed its name to MarketMeSuite to fit its ultimate purpose as a social media management/marketing tool and not limiting to just Twitter only, but Facebook, Google Calender, Ping.fm and more.

So great to see you here, Evelyn. Thanks for being the 1st commenter. :-)

Yes, the branding feature is amazing. Back in V1 I had been combining it with Tweetdeck to make the full use of each client, now V2 is a lot better. Great Twitter tool for marketers.

Thanks so much for commenting, I’ll visit you soon. ^^

Thanks for including my post… this article is super detailed in describing the features of this product. I was discussing this with someone the other day and we were trying to find it’s additional benefits over free tools like HootSuite. I’ll forward this to her as well.

Jayce, not all things are free in life, isn’t it? :-) It depends how one gauges the value of the app and how it can really help in their marketing effort. It varies from one person to another.

Thanks for visiting.

Hi Tammy, thanks for dropping by. Just sharing a personal review here and hopefully those who need the app for their business will know about MMT and what it’s capable of helping. You’re most welcome.

I’m still unable to import the pages after making the ‘Interests’ visible on my Info tab, unsure why.. hmm.. will try again later.

Let me know if you have not sorted it. It worked for others with the same issue.

Tammy, just sent in a support request describing the issue. I’m afraid it’s still not working for me. Will discuss further in the request forum:

Thanks in advance.

Hi Ching. I have to admit that this tool looks very promising and “tempting” I must say, to use its marketing capabilities (branding). I have been on Hootsuite for a long time (maybe since its inception) and love it, specially because it is free, lol. This does not mean that I can not poke around the app and look into it in more deeply. Although I think that you have already explained it here so thoroughly that I seriously doubt that there is anything else to know more about :) As always, kudos

Thank you DiTesco, it’s great having you here always. :-) I’m just glad I had the opportunity to try this app and take a look inside despite other free Twitter apps. Just sharing what I know for the time being. If there’s more updates I can find, I’ll keep you all updated.

As usual, your encouragement means a lot! Thanks my friend.

This looks wonderful, and you did an awesome job giving us the details. After spending ‘way too much money in a big rush of optimism when I first started blogging, I’m having to go back to using mostly free stuff for now. But I can see that tools like this would be so beneficial for branding and driving Twitter followers back to our sites.

Christie,
Thank you so much for the kind words, it means a lot and great to see you here. :-) MMT has own advantages, hopefully this review can be helpful to those who need it.

Tammy,
I think what Christie is saying is that as individual we may take in other considerations when deciding tools and applications to use and spend on, (may include plan priorities, goals, real life & blogging expenses). She still thinks the app is beneficial and helps. Perhaps in future when the features are needed, I’m sure she and others won’t mind to give MMT a try. :-)

Hey Ching,

Awesome review. Tool looks really cool. It has some great features.
I’m Going to check it out.

Thanks for the awesome review.

Looks really good, I use Hootsuite at the moment which is free – is this worth the $99 in your opinion Ching-Ya?
Jorgen @ Personal Branding´s last blog ..Personal Branding Chat with Malcolm Levene My ComLuv Profile

Jorgen, nice to see you here. Hootsuite is indeed a good choice as a free app, I still use Tweetdeck from time to time too. ^^

Truth is, we all have our own gauge/budget and depend much on respective goals and current planning. The real value lies in our heart individually, really. :-) How I answer the question will only matter to my own self; what truly help is to review your goals, strategies, budget; and whether the current app able to fulfill your needs for now. I’m sure then you’ll have a clear answer for this question. ^^

Wow! Wonderful Product this is… I was reading all its features one by one… and finally a small sad news at end that it is not Free :(

Anyways, thanks for the share.. i came to know about something new today :)

Chethan, it’s alright. At least you are informed about this app. Just in case in future if you thought about using a marketing tool for your product, the name should ring a bell then. :-)

Thanks again for visiting.

great review as usual Ching Ya. I’ve been in business for most of my life and one thing I’ve learned is that paying money for a tool that does the right job usually pays for itself. Having said that, as blogging for me is more about enjoyment than it is about making money, I think I will stick with TweetDeck for now. If I ever decide to take my Internet dabbling to a more serious level I would consider buying it if it was a one off fee. A yearly fee seems a bit much.

Sire, thanks so much for sharing your opinion. :-) Very well said and I’m happy to see that you’re enjoying blogging to the fullest (as you’re doing a great job with it, apparently). Yes, it’s good to go for what you think is suitable now until it’s time to move up a level.

Much appreciated, I know you’re a busy guy so it means a lot to have your visit here. Thanks so much!

Another killer article regarding Twitter, and Facebook. Though the product is not free, it is worth buying.

Loved the Tweet Scheduling thing. Thanks for sharing yet another killer post Ching Ya..cheers! :)

Thanks for saying that! I find it very very interesting how people aren’t really willing to invest in themselves. It’s all good research though and I appreciate the comments. It helps us learn psychology :)

Pradeep, thanks so much for the visit my friend. :-) Yes, I agree on the scheduling too. Comparing to previous version, the upgrade is well done and convenient for bulk scheduling too. Thanks for supporting and if you ever need it, you’ll know where to look for.

Thanks again for the comment.

Awesome post!! :) loved it..

Great information.I use twitter to promote my business and I think being able to schedule tweets is priceless. I love the idea of writing my tweets in advance and having them appear on a schedule.
