Millions of businesses around the world use MailChimp to send billions of emails daily. This business automation workhorse ..er...chimp does a lot more than just schedule and send emails.

Google has become a mainstay in my business, from Chrome apps, add-ins, and Gmail, to Google Forms and Docs. It's an essential tool for day-to-day productivity. You can create various forms, from a customer contact form to a survey to an order form. We've used them all!
Our favorite part about Google Forms, besides its easy use, is the automation of the form and documents. It can automatically email you every time someone fills out the form, and it captures all the data in a real-time spreadsheet that can easily be uploaded for unlimited uses.

Bitly is a URL link shortening application. If that were all this tool did for free, that would be enough! Who likes to type or even copy and paste huge links?
Analytics! Yes, our favorite part about Bitly (did we mention it's also FREE?) is that it allows you to edit the Bitlink and provides the analytics behind it once it's shared. You can see how many people viewed your redirected links and when and where they viewed them (email, SMS, Facebook, Instagram) to see which campaigns are reaching your customers. But there's so much more to this than shrinking the links.
