How to run your social media marketing business with TheCEOApp

TheCEOApp team ·

Running a social media marketing business in Nigeria means keeping track of a lot at once: what you sold, who still owes you, what's left on the shelf and what came in today. TheCEOApp is a business app built in Nigeria that puts all of that on your phone, in the words of your trade.

This guide shows how social media marketing businesses use TheCEOApp day to day.

Record every sale in seconds

Add what you sell once, for example services like social media management (monthly), ads campaign and content calendar. Suggestions for a social media marketing come up as you type, so you don't start from a blank page.

Then record a sale by tapping the items, scanning a barcode or simply saying it out loud. The receipt goes to the client on WhatsApp with your logo, and part payments are kept against their name.

Keep stock the way you count it

Count stock by month, campaign and post. Start with the biggest unit you buy in, say how many smaller ones fit inside, set a price for each and sell in whichever unit the client wants. Stock goes down as you sell, and you're warned before you run out.

Track each job from start to finish

Every job moves through your own steps (typically 5 days), with the deposit, costs and profit beside it:

  • Brief
  • First draft
  • Changes
  • Delivered

Tools social media marketing businesses use most

  • Jobs, step by step: Track each job from deposit to handover, one step at a time, with costs and profit.
  • Appointment bookings: Clients pick a day and time on your service pages; you get the request in the app with their name and phone.

What every business gets

  • Record a sale in seconds: Type it, scan it or just say it. The receipt goes to the customer on WhatsApp with your logo.
  • Know who owes you: Part payments, balances and polite reminders, so debts don't get forgotten.
  • Stock that adds up: Stock goes down as you sell, with alerts before you run out and a count of what was lost or damaged.
  • Your own online shop: A shop page with your products and prices that customers order from on WhatsApp.
  • Designs and documents: Flyers, price lists, invoices and quotations in your brand colours.
  • Ceopay business account: Receive transfers, pay suppliers and bills, and save, from the same app.

The app calls your customers clients and your products products, so it reads like your business.
