There are lots of social media management platforms that will provide you with a valuable social media presence for your online business or promotions and it really doesn’t even have to cost you any money to implement a social media management strategy, but it is highly advisable if required to go for a paid service as the level of usability and automated resources are far superior to the free services. At the end of the day, you always get what you pay for.

So Who Are The Big Social Media Management Players

Hootsuite is the Social Media Management market leader. It is the biggest and most established social media management platform with around 8 Million users.
