Counselor
5.0

Vanessa P.: Hi, I'm Vanessa, Intuitive Counselor. I work at Sirona Life Management, which is a company that I own. I use Buffer on a regular basis. I would give it about five stars, because it really helps me organize my social media presence. Before Buffer, I was trying to manage my social media presence across many platforms on my own, and that just was not working. So I needed some sort of platform that could organize that for me. I chose Buffer because there was an option for a free trial period before going bigger. And I always feel like that is super helpful, because I can try before I buy. You always want to know if you can handle that platform, not just if that platform works. Buffer is super easy to use. It's such an easy platform to navigate, and they have customer service that will help you if you get stuck. I definitely think that if you are a small company, you should consider Buffer, just because it really makes everything so much easier for you. It takes something off of your plate that we all have on our plate when we are the one that is responsible for our social media presence.
