I've found that using the right tools can streamline my operations and boost efficiency. Below are some of the best tools I tested and am using daily.
One essential I rely on is
Urlbox, a screenshot API which automates the process of capturing website screenshots. For me, this is invaluable for tracking the visual appearance of our online store and product pages over time. It ensures that we can maintain consistent branding and monitor any changes made by suppliers, all without the manual effort of taking screenshots myself.
Another game-changer in my toolkit is Uniqode (formerly Beaconstac), a QR code generator I use to make
QR codes for marketing purposes. I also incorporate these codes into various aspects of my business to enhance customer engagement. For example, I create email signatures with QR codes that link directly to our website or special offers that customers can redeem. On top of that, I include QR codes on receipts to increase post-purchase engagement and revenue. By integrating QR codes into my marketing materials, I ensure that my customers have an easy and interactive way to connect with my business.
Also, I’ve started using a GPT for Sheets
extension that allows me to automate data analysis, generate insights, and even draft content directly within Google Sheets. For example, I use it to quickly generate product descriptions, analyze customer feedback, and create reports. It saves time and also ensures accuracy in our data processing. By integrating GPT for Sheets into our workflow, I can streamline routine tasks, freeing up more time to focus on strategic growth initiatives. It’s an efficient way to keep my team aligned and productive without getting bogged down in manual processes.
