Beta Unlocked: Marketing Planner

We’ve just released the first version of our Marketing Planner.

The Planner shows all your marketing activities (emails campaigns, social posts, blog posts) on a weekly calendar view, and comes with suggestions for our ready-made templates.

We hope it will help you and your clients create & plan your marketing efforts.

What do yall think? :slight_smile: @yuvalsh is from the Wix Ascend team and he will be closely monitoring your suggestions, thoughts, and feedback!

Amazing! Not really been interested in anything apart from inbox and email, but this is definitely something that will encourage me to explore new tools.

Great work!

Pretty awesome! One more tool in any Wix user’s toolbox!

This is fabulous! Love the trajectory Wix is taking…

Hello
Very Good !
If you could:

  • connect other social networks like Linkedin … it would avoid using HootSuite
  • have the number of events planned for the current month…it would help to have statistics

I can’t see it, where should it be Brett? Looks like something I need

Brilliant, hope this will encourage Wix users to use Ascend too!

It’s a beta; make sure you have beta enabled in your partner dashboard. :slight_smile:

Hey @bestofdenis , thanks for the feedback!
My name is Yuval and I am the PM who’s in charge of this feature (and some other marketing tools).

  • Soon we will allow posting & scheduling on more channels, starting with Instagram. Other than Linkedin, what social channels do you use? Twitter?
  • Showing the number of events planned is a great idea!

Do you have more feedback? I’d love to hear…
Thanks!! (:

Simplesmente, perfect!

Hi Yuval,
Looks great.
Regarding the Social post, what about some Hebrew fonts? RTL maybe?
Tnx,
Guy

There should be a monthly and yearly view if this wants to be a “planner”. Also there should be a gant style view where it tells you when to start designing all your content for an occasion. For example: You wouldn’t start designing on the same week your Valentines Day campaign, that should be done at least a couple of months in advance. Coupons set directly from here.

Hey Guy,
Thanks for the feedback.
We will give it a thought. Supporting Hebrew and RTL is top priority here at Wix

Hey @simon8144 ,
Thanks for the feedback!
This is just the first version of the planner, we will have more views in the future.
Regarding the ‘design phase’ - great feedback. Soon, we will start sending notifications 2 weeks before major holidays, with a single place to edit all the campaign assets in one place, and track the campaign after it goes live - stay tuned (:
More feedback?
Thanks, this is much appreciated!

With the new Marketing Planner it is easier to see upcoming posts/campaigns etc. but it would be awesome if we could upload our own social posts. I use tools like Illustrator and Photoshop to create social posts, and it would be great if we could upload and schedule these inside of Wix. (Like SproutSocial or Hootsuite)

Hey @noahlovell , thanks for the great feedback.
We’re working on it.
In a few months you’ll be able to upload your own content and share it through more channels (like SproutSocial & Hootsuite :wink: )

Glad to see we will be able to upload our own content in the future that will be a game changer. I though would be able to schedule posts, make notes etc, pretty much replace trello. Am am I missing something because it looks to me that other than post suggestions it just records what you’ve done?

Hey @sharonroberts ,
Thanks for the feedback!
You can already schedule posts and emails and see them on the calendar. They will be published/sent on the day & time you choose and their statuses on the calendar will be change accordingly.

Regarding adding notes - we’re looking into it and considering.

HI, @brett
That sounds really good. Amazing.
Do you have any plans to launch a PT-BR version ?

Thanks.

Best Regards
