If it weren’t for these tools, our online shop wouldn’t exist.

Bold statement, but it’s true.

If we had to spend all of our time manually doing all of these tasks that these 12 tools do for us, we would have no time to create our lovely WordPress themes for all of you.

All of these tools make it possible for us to run our online business smoothly and effectively.

4 | Tailwind

This Pinterest scheduling tool saves us so much time! We use it to schedule our pins in bulk and it will automatically pin them to the boards we want them shared to on schedule so they don’t go out all at the same time. Tailwind also analyzes our best pinning times. It’s fabulous and very reasonably priced!

This can be extremely useful information that you can use to turn more visitors into customers. CrazyEgg is another great option.
