6 digital marketing tools to get your work done in 2023 (+extra options)

Digital marketing includes so many different channels, approaches, and campaigns that running, tracking, and measuring all your online activities turns into a nightmare. Big marketing teams assign these tasks to individual specialists. Small ones try to distribute this workload among all team members evenly.  

However, both of them need to automate the marketing routine. Otherwise, there is no room for learning, brainstorming, and creativity in our work!  

Fortunately, we have tools that speed up and facilitate almost any marketing task — from audience analysis to email campaign launching.   

Let’s have a look at some good options. 

Tools to listen to your customers and get audience insights  

Let's start with a tool that helps you better understand your customers and meet the needs of your target audience. Besides, tracking popular topics and discussions on the web, you will draw up an effective content marketing plan for 2022.    

Awario  

How does it work 

Awario peers into different corners of the Internet, including blogs, news sites, and social networks, to reveal your brand mentions and industry-related keywords you set up as an alert. You can track your CEO’s name, competitive brands, marketing campaigns, events, breaking news, or commonly used hashtags on Twitter and YouTube.    

Creating an alert, you can choose your language, location (up to a particular city and state), sources to monitor, set up the date range, and exclude keywords, social and web pages to narrow down the search. Additionally, use Boolean operators such as AND, NOT, AND NOT for the most relevant results.    

The tool will notify you about all new mentions via email and Slack daily or weekly, so leveraging Awario in the background for regular monitoring of your company’s mentions on the web is a good idea. Use it individually or create a project with your team members. 

For what marketing purposes:  

Pricing

The Starter plan is $39/mo, Pro is $119/mo, and Enterprise is $399/mo. By buying a yearly plan, you save up to 40% of the price. Also, you can book a demo to pick up the best option for your purposes.

Tools to check spelling and grammar mistakes in your texts and master your writing skills  

AI-based software is one of the trends for 2022. Data analysis, email marketing, and conversation marketing specialists employ the technology actively. AI-powered writing assistants are another realm where machine learning serves us. These tools work so well that some pessimists cannot wait to see The Decline of Copywriting (they will have to wait a long time, though).   

Grammarly

How does it work 

If your English grade at school is B or lower, Grammarly will keep your emails, tweets, and articles concise and mistake-free. This grammar checker is the best mate for non-native English copywriters as well.    

The tool scans your piece of content and detects writing issues such as incorrect spelling, text inconsistencies, faulty tense sequence, Passive Voice misusing, and the like. It works with four varieties of English language: American, British, Canadian, and Australian.   

You can paste your text fragment into the checker by copying it from Google Docs or MS Word or upload a document (.odt, .docx, .rtf, .txt) to check.  

Additionally, you can set up goals to get recommendations on how to keep your readers engaged with your text. For example, choose the audience characteristics (General, Knowledgeable, Expert), the formality level (informal, neutral, formal), your domain (Business, Academic, Email, Creative, etc.), the tone of voice (Joyful, Optimistic, Analytical, etc.), and your intention in copywriting (Inform, Describe, Convince, Tell a story). Grammarly will detect the part of a text for improvement. For example, it can suggest you change a buzzword with a formal one.      

You can use the tool online or download a Chrome extension to use it wherever you type, including email services and social networks.

Tools to open up and improve your email marketing channel

Emails are the most personal method of brand communication by 74% of Baby Boomers, 72% of Gen X, 64% of Millennials, and 60% of Gen Z users, the Bluecore research said. Sending newsletters, updates, and offers by email is also one of the best ways to nurture leads. Here is a tool that enables you to get the most out of email marketing.

The platform also provides you with analytics and easy-to-digest reports around your subscribers: their demographics, location, and engagements. Having this data, you can manage your audience by dividing people by segments based on their interests, countries, activities, and purchase behavior.
