Every social media marketer feels uneasy when he is asked by client to justify his spending on social media campaign. It is a sensitive issue and, since business owners are going to invest their hard-earned money on it, it is your responsibility to come up with something tangible. It will be hard to convince business owners, unless you make them see that your social media activities are measurable to a certain extent. Though it is not that easy, there are some tools available that can simplify the process to a great extent. However, picking up the best tool is a trouble by itself since there are zillions of tools available. To make your task easy, here we are going to present some cool tools that deserve to be in your social media marketing mix:

Those of you, who have a thing or two for twitter and want to track everything appearing on it, Twazzup is the best tool that you need to give a try. It offers almost all the metrics in one single page. You have details of top influencers, top links etc. However, there are certain discrepancies regarding the accuracy of top influencer data. Pair it with Klout score and you will be in for a surprise. There is huge difference between them and the reason could be Twazzup is using different metrics for calculating the social power of different profiles.
