Microsoft Connections

There are a lot of marketing tools on the market, but Microsoft connections gives so much more than managing subscribers and sending email campaigns. With easy to use dashboards you can see what is working well, such as offer redemptions, as well as using segmentation to target specific groups of subscribers. With pre-designed templates for newsletters, announcements and customer referrals this provides a tool to really grow your customer base. With simple ways for people to join and unsubscribe from the mailing list, this could be the tool for small businesses looking to cover the GDPR requirement for consent.

Microsoft Listings

Modern search engines and listing sites often focus on local companies, and keeping the business listing up to date. Microsoft listings helps small businesses keep their details up to date on Google, Facebook, Yelp and Bing, with analytics on performance on all of those tools.

Microsoft Invoicing

Small companies need to focus on their core business operations, so tools that help with managing the back office are a must. The new Microsoft Invoicing app gives a range of tools to provide estimates and invoices in a quick and easy way. Further to this, the tools allow you to keep track of the payments, and integrates with PayPal so that you can accept debit and credit cards online.

Office 365 Business Center

Integrated Office 365 apps are all about bringing business functions together. The new Business Center provides a dashboard for Bookings, Connections, Listings and Invoicing, with key metrics and a news feed to keep you up to date on activity. Suggestions give an indication of what needs doing so that you can keep on top of business priorities.

The integrations mean that data such as contact details only need to be input once as the records are recognised across all apps.
