Top 5 Red Hot Tools of 2011

  • 0 min read

Shortly after we launched the Small Business Bonfire this year, we kicked off what would become one of the most popular features: the Red Hot Tool of the Week.

Each week, we select an online tool that targets small business owners. It can be a productivity app, statistics/metrics/analytics software, marketing tool, sales booster, customer service app, website add-on, collaboration tool, or anything that small business owners might use. We give it a test drive, and if it makes the cut, it gets featured as a Red Hot Tool. An easy-to-digest summary is sent out via email to subscribers.

By the end of 2011, we will have featured 44 Red Hot Tools since our launch. Here are the five that have received the highest percentage of opens and click-throughs, making them the most popular Red Hot Tools featured this year.

Make sure you sign up to receive the Red Hot Tool of the Week email (it’s free). Small Business Bonfire members can access the complete list of featured tools in the Red Hot Tool archive (membership in our small business community is also free).

Psychology says older adults who scroll the most in the evening usually aren’t the loneliest people in the house. They’re often the ones who found it, quietly, the safest substitute they have left for calling someone directly.

Keeping the counter clear while cooking is partly a private habit and partly a quiet form of consideration — a way of leaving the kitchen usable for whoever moves through it next, without needing to say so out loud
