The world has gone digital, and that includes how businesses are run! It is so important these days to have an online presence for your business, which means that there are so many apps out there to help small business owners and their employees stay on top of this. 

But which apps do you really need? And which ones are the best?

Here is our list of 5 apps every small business owner should have:

1. Monday.com

Not only is Monday.com an amazing platform to help your business and team keep track of EVERYTHING, but they also have an app to match so you can keep track of what you need to do on the go. And with automations set up, you can have notifications sent directly to your phone when a task is due, when someone tags you in something, when you are assigned to a new task, and just about anything! That is the beauty of Monday.com rolled up perfectly into an app.

2. Business Suite from Facebook

If you have a Facebook page for your business (which you should) then using the Facebook Business Suite app is great for when you are not right at your computer. The Business Suite app allows you to create and schedule posts, comment to replies, answer messages, and much more. Plus if you have an Instagram account for your business, you can also access it through the Business Suite. The Business Suite app makes it easy for you to see all your information in one place, separate from your personal Facebook account.

3. Canva

Canva is your one stop shop for all your design needs, and now you can use the app on your phone to create beautiful designs anywhere! Canva is perfect for creating social media posts, flyers, business cards, short videos, content for your website, and just about anything you can name. And you do not have to be a pro to create stunning designs. With thousands of templates for you to choose from, you can quickly create your own designs for your business. 

4. Hangouts from Google

The Google Hangouts app is the best way to keep in contact with your employees when you cannot be at your desk. It works through your Gmail and allows you to message anyone like you do through Gmail on your desktop or laptop. You can even call through it, whether it is just voice or video calls. Set up notifications through your phone so you never miss a message! 

5. Sendible Publish and Sendible Engage

Another great website that has made life easier through an app is Sendible Publish and Engage! With both apps together, you can quickly and efficiently create posts for all your social media platforms, schedule them, and see people’s engagement to all your social media accounts. This is great for a business that does their own social media, but is even better for businesses that work with clients’ social media accounts.
