Content posting made easy
Much like popular social media scheduling tools Hootsuite and Sprout Social, GoDaddy's marketing planner lets users create content from its templated suggestions, plan and schedule content four weeks in advance, and track engagement using GoDaddy Website + Marketing metrics dashboard.
"Connecting a social media post to major (and minor) holidays, changes of season, or another special day makes a brand more relevant, resulting in engagement and sales," said GoDaddy in a blog post.
"In fact, nearly a third of sales in 2020 happened around the holidays, with online sales growing more than 25%, meaning a well-timed campaign can be the difference between a good year and a great year for an online business."
This new release is in line with a string of new features GoDaddy plans to roll out throughout the year.
