Our Favorites!

You've seen or at least heard of Opera's special episodes where she shares her favorite things. We are going to copy her (it's ok to tell her, I think she'd just laugh)! We are going to let you in on the special products and favorite services of Procella!

In this edition we'll share with you our favorite FREE online services. Look for products, paid services, businesses, and more soon!

Netvibes
We love this service for a homepage. It's our virtual office that offers everything we need. In the sad loss of iGoogle we've added this website and service to our bookmarks! If you need a place for your office homepage, we recommend Netvibes! It's FREE to use and start, but like most sites you can upgrade for different tools and additions. 

JotForm
I always use this service for my form building. With a great free program and upgrades available for others, it's super easy to create all sorts of forms. Either use them online, print them off, or both! The tools and easy use instructions always ensure me a great form each time! 

MailChimp
This email marketing service has always been my one and only choice. The ease of creating an email that I can control the sending to is great. Not only does it look awesome, but I can schedule out these emails. There is also analytic data for each email. I can see exactly which person opens the email, when they did, how long they had it up, and what they clicked on. It keeps track of everything for me. Only thing I have to do in my busy days in think up what to send and when. I can even sub list my major list. For example, I have a master client list- in this is sub list of past clients, current clients, and potential clients. There is a great FREE membership program with upgrades you can add on. Stop worrying about those emails you send out, its too much to worry about. Just let the MailChimp take over for you. 

Wave
We use Wave for our accounting, invoicing, estimates, expenses, and more! It's free program is perfect for us and any small business. It's paid programs are great as our company-and yours-expands. We really love how easy it's been to use, the tools and features available, and even the formats provided for invoices. 

Buffer
You have heard of and seen the new suites for social media management. If you are controlling and doing your own social media marketing campaigns, then Buffer is definitely going to a pick for you. We have tried and used other different services and sites, but Buffer always came out on top. Sending out post and tweets is a snap! I can send words, pictures, links, videos, and more either right away or scheduled out. I also really enjoy seeing the analytically data provided on each post. It helps us to really utilize our social sites to the best opportunities. It's free program is a great start, and additional add ons have kept us moving only up and forward. 

Smore
This online service is always great for us to create attractive, informative, and fun online flyers. It comes with pre-designed flyers for those less creative and tons of features to make each flyer just perfect for you and your campaign! Each flyer is kept in your own folder to access at anytime. It is so easy to add it on websites, social sites, emails, blogs, and more! It's FREE to start with paid additional features. Go make a flyer just for fun! See for yourself!
