DTC 376: Chrome Extensions

🎨 Customize your toolbox

Google Chrome is a popular web browser used by industry professionals because of its security, compatibility, and utility. 

Google also makes it very easy to expand the tools available in Chrome through Extensions. Chrome Web Store is the hub for these Extensions, and as you’ll notice, there are hundreds of thousands to choose from!

We’ve assembled a list of Chrome Extensions to help introduce you to the power these tools bring to your marketing game. Give these a try. 👇

🔎 Don’t let it happen again

Verify all of the links in your content at once using Check My Links. This Extension will review your links in a few seconds to ensure that each URL is live and ready for your customers. 

You can even bulk edit the URLs to expedite your revision process. 💡

You’ll never have to worry about missing valuable tracking data because of a small typo again.🤦

👀 I want what they have 

WhatFont helps identify what font (get it!) is used on any web page. Simply activate the WhatFont Extension and hover over text on a web page to uncover its name. This is a great way to expand your library of design assets or discover a new font to use in a split test. 

Eye Dropper lets users hover over their color of choice and generates the corresponding RGB color code. You can then replicate the exact color in any design program like Photoshop or Illustrator to use for your assets.

🏗️ Build UTMs with ease

The Google Analytics UTM Builder is an absolute necessity for Google Analytics users. This Extension will help you assemble a unique UTM for each URL to track a wide range of essential metrics in your marketing campaigns. 

Don’t let complex UTM structures stop you from obtaining the data you need to grow your brand! This extension has built-in support for bit.ly to make your links short and sweet. 

✏️ Autocorrect like never before

Level up your grammar game and craft some of the best copy you’ve ever written with your personal on-demand editor!

🧹 Cleaning up the mailbox
