This deployment brought interface changes, increased search ability, and lots of helpful little tweaks. One of the most talked about features has definitely been Smart Inboxes. With Smart Inboxes you can customize your workflow, filter for exactly what you want to see, cross network, read/unread, from a person… you decide!

It’s the ultimate control of your workflow. Smart Inboxes have been revolutionizing social media curation for our users.

Pinterest is the fun new social network that is growing at an incredible rate. Although their API is not opened yet, we couldn’t resist a little innovation of our own. When the network first launched, we had one real question on our minds… “How can this help the small business.”

Last week, we did a little experiment for a small business, and the results were pretty amazing.

Targeted Leads

You can read the full case study here, but the gist of it was that after just 72 hours of creating a niche specific board, the experiment business had 18 people following who were all potential leads, and, upon further digging, we found out that our board wasn’t the first time the business was featured on the site. Someone had already posted a few images, the owner just didn’t know, and therefore couldn’t engage.

So that got us thinking… wouldn’t it be great to have a simple way to find out if your site has been pinned? Pinterest does offer a search, but that’s for people or if something is mentioned in the title. We couldn’t see a way to find everything from one site. So we knocked up a quick solution for internal use, and then though, hey, let’s share it!

MarketMeSuite.com/PinMe

In one quick step you can find out if any content from your domain has been pinned, and interact with the pinners. A quick search far MarketMeSuite.com showed 5 pins, 3 of which were unique pinners who we could immediately engage with.

Simple Solution

MarketMeSuite is an impressive app that we’ve spent the better part of 2 years working on. It’s robust, it’s well thought out, and we hope you try it. PinMe is a little side project to dip our toe in the Pinterest sea. We’ve kept it super simple and think we’ve come up with a helpful little innovation that we used ourselves, and we wanted to share. We think it Pinterest has a future for SMB marketing, but they first have to open their API.

But for now, head over to PinMe and give it a try. You may be surprised that even though you aren’t on Pinterest yet, your site is!

Those of you who have followed the MarketMeSuite story know what a hard line we’ve taken against Twitter spam. Some people (wrongfully) assume “Social Marketing” means spam. When we built MarketMeSuite, we set out to develop an app that is super effective while giving the user full control and never, ever spamming.

It’s been a long fight, but there is finally some news that Twitter has started to shut down those spam/automation bots in a real way.

Check For OAUTH…

Twitter is working hard to shut down spam tools, but black hat developers are savvy, and new ones are likely to pop up. One important thing to look for when you sign up for the tool, is does it ask you to log into Twitter? Legit applications are meant to use something called “OAUTH.” It’s a page that you get redirected through, which allows you to log into your Twitter account that doesn’t allow the 3rd party developer to actually see your password.

Here is an example of a safe OAUTH screen:

As you can see, it clearly states that the application cannot see your password. This is very important, and a good sign of an app that is “above board.”

False Promises?

You’ve seen it before: “Get followers while you sleep.”

MarketMeSuite’s Social Inbox is an end to end social marketing solution to allow you to manage, curate, engage, target, and analyze. We don’t promise instant results. We don’t offer you a solution to “get followers at the speed of light.” We offer you a genuine product, used by over 25,000 businesses currently to help you reach your social media marketing goals. We are the vehicle, but you have the power.

You want to look out for (and avoid) any tool that promise the world. There’s no substitute for real engagement, and anything short of that is usually not allowed by Twitter, and not a good idea anyway.

Ditch The Spam, Get Actual Results

At the end of the day, you want to improve your bottom line. You need tools to help make Social Media Marketing easier and more effective, but  Social Media Marketing is not a get rich quick scheme. But, with a little effort and the right tools you can get a heck of a return on investment with 100 targeted and engaged followers than you’d ever get from 10,000 ones achieved by bots and spam!

We recently deployed and update to inbox.marketmesuite.com, making Fan Pages an easy to use element of MarketMeSuite’s Social Inbox.

Now, instead of having to type your Facebook profile name, simply start typing the name of the fan page, and a list will populate

You can also create a smart inbox. Smart Inboxes are a great way to prioritize your messages:

We wanted to share our newest video with you!  In this short promo video we explain the power behind the Social Inbox concept.

Open To All!

We’re super excited about the direction of MarketMeSuite, and your feedback has been amazing. If you haven’t tried MarketMeSuite’s Social Inbox, now is the time. We are in open beta for anyone who wants to use it (and we even have some special beta pricing to go along with it if you want to graduate from our already strong free offering).

“I love the video!”

The video has only been up for a couple of hours but we’ve already been asked multiple times who did it for us. The fab @Iqrow is behind this video and we are so pleased with the job he did!

Very brief blog post. Due to demands, and as we leave will be leaving beta in the near future. We are taking a quick opportunity to upgrade our servers to support growing demand for MarketMeSuite. Downtime is expected between 5-8am EST.

No data will be lost and everything will be as you remember it when we’re back up again (soon).

Thanks for your patience. After this brief downtime we have no other scheduled downtime planned and if we do we will let you all know.

We blogged about this a couple of weeks ago, but due to the overwhelming amount of people joining and questions, we wanted to republish with a few additions!

CoTweet has been a treasured resource for countless businesses, and was an example to the development community. While we’re sure Social Engage will have some fantastic features, there are businesses who are looking for a free alternative to the soon to be expired CoTweet, and we got you covered at MarketMeSuite.

We’ve had hundreds of CoTweet users flocking to MarketMeSuite’s new Social Inbox (beta) in the last few days, and the comments have been so outstanding, we thought it was time to go mainstream with it. MarketMeSuite is a great alternative to CoTweet. It’s web-based, it’s geared for businesses, it has a slick new UI. It’s the answer you were looking for.

Perfect Fit For CoTweeters

We’ve been getting a lot of great feedback, like Dan from TwitSprout (and if you don’t know what TwitSprout is, check it out, it’s awesome).

He e-mailed me this weekend with his initial thoughts:

CoTweet showed which tweets had been responded to, but they’re converting into a “premium-only” service with a high price tag.

Tammy, I’m watching your 5 minute getting started video and it’s blowing my mind! WOW!

Here’s what I see are the killer features (for me)

1. One inbox. I literally have 4 columns in Hootsuite for @TwitSprout mentions, @dHolowack mentions, twitsprout search and dholowack search.

2. Tweet macros. This will really help me send quick thank-yous to our users. I’ll populate this with 5 or 6 nice thank you tweets rotate between them. Especially standard tweets with links back to our knowledgebase articles!

3. Inbox Flags and leads. I’ve always wanted something like this. Thank you!

Dan is one of hundreds of ex-CoTweeters who are already finding MarketMeSuite to be the answer to their social dashboard prayers.

Free Option

We have a very strong free offering, but for those who want more analytics, additional data storage, etc we have some paid options that won’t break the bank.

Have You Switched?

Today we’ve released another deployment to #MMSbeta also known as “The Social Inbox.” If you haven’t seen what we’re doing lately, we are revolutionizing the Social Media Dashboard with a simple but overdue idea: Everyone understands email. Watch more what exactly a Social Inbox is in this short video.

Start up Inbox.MarketMeSuite.com to see the latest additions.

(set up an account first at MarketMeSuite.com/get-app if you aren’t a current user, V3 users log in with your normal MarketMeSuite details)

Priority Inbox

It’s here. A quick and easy way to make sure you don’t miss any important message.

Do you like being in total control of your feeds? Set up a “Smart Inbox” and control exactly what you see.

Interactive Analytics

We’ll be adding a lot more to this module over the next few weeks, but we have started to show you what we call “Interactive analytics.”

Why are they interactive?

Because unlike most social media data available to you, this data is drive by actions you perform inside MarketMeSuite.

You can finally figure out what you are actually DOING that is leading to results.

Dynamic Facebook Posting

We heard you loud and clear when you said “I want my Facebook links to show a preview picture…” and now they do.

(By the way, make sure to “Like” our Facebook Page and join our Facebook Group)

Reply To All, Sorted

We had a few issues with Reply To All, but that is now fixed, along with a few other beta bugs we squashed with this deployment.

Increased Data

We doubled the amount of data you can search for free, and across all our plans. That means you can flag a message for longer, have more time to respond to leads, and search back through your inbox even further.



We’re working super hard to make sure we stick to a rigorous release schedule, and are aiming to have this out of beta in the next couple of weeks. That also means Beta Pricing, so join the hundreds of other businesses who have already locked in their beta discount. Read more about our Affordable Upgrades here.

Stay In Touch!

Having an app in beta means we’re really tuned into the community and feedback. As always, let us know what you think in our Forum and by following and Tweeting @MarketMeSuite!

We have been having tremendous engagement and use on our newest product, MarketMeSuite’s Social Inbox, still in beta. There have been a few questions surrounding pricing, so this post is dedicated to providing clarity around our plans, and our reasoning behind them.

Is MarketMeSuite Free?

We have a very strong free offering, with very few limits, but for the heavier user, we have some paid options so you can get the most out of MarketMeSuite.

Why Charge?

Our top priority is making sure we put out a stellar product to our users, and servers aren’t free.  Being a web-based app has its advantages, but there is more strain on the servers than the Adobe Air app had, so for this reason we have limits on a few things, and of course, it helps us to continue to fund development and innovation!

I Paid For Access To The Air App…

Any paid users of the Adobe Air app still have access to it, which is what you paid for, and will always get any updates to the air app free.  But this is a new product, “The Social Inbox” which is a completely different app in the MarketMeSuite family. We are charging for add ons to the social inbox, including Data and analytics (something not part of the original MarketMeSuite product.) And, of course, “The Social Inbox” in itself has a very strong free version.

Which Features Are Limited?

We like to keep things simple. You are limited on 4 points:

• Social Profiles: Add additional Twitter, Facebook, and LinkedIn profiles. Fan pages and groups are free!
• RSS: Upgrade to add additional feeds to auto post any new content. Great for blogs and e-commerce stores!
• Data and Archive: Upgrading let’s you search back in time. Using the search bar at the top right of the Inbox you can access important older messages using words or phrases, just like you can in your e-mail!
• Analytics: We’ve analyzed all the data and have a lot to share with you! By upgrading, you will have access to more analytics data to arm you with the knowledge of how your social marketing is working.

That’s it.  Everything else in the app you are free to use and enjoy with no limits, including team members!  We’ve identified these items as the “server pain points,” and to be able to support heavy use of these features, we need to charge.

Note: Beta pricing is shown below. Pricing will go up a bit in 2 weeks time but anyone who locks in this price gets it for a whole year.

What do we mean by Data and Archive?

Because MarketMeSuite uses the “inbox” concept, you can actually go back and find anything you’ve missed, just by searching in all or part of the message, name, etc. The days of a tweet or Facebook post only being relevant for a few minutes are behind us, and, much like e-mail, you often need access to something you’ve dealt with a day, week, or month ago.

Affordable Pricing!

We have put together pricing that we know you will get 10 to 100 times value over what you pay us per month. We guarantee it. If you don’t find you’re getting value for money, we’ll refund you. That’s how sure we are that you will reach your goals with MarketMeSuite!

Want to upgrade? Go to inbox.marketmesuite.com and click on “Upgrade!”

Please let us know if you have any questions @MarketMeHelp, or visit our support forum.  We want everyone to join in the beta fun!

Have “Suite” day!

As many of you know, CoTweet has decided to sunset on February 15.  CoTweet has been a treasured resource for countless businesses, and was an example to the development community.
