Why is Social Media important for your business?
Well for starters, its used by almost everyone in some way now days. Its almost a daily routine to hear… “So and So just tweeted this about that news story”…or “Tweet live with us during the show”…or “We are holding a discussion on our Facebook page so join in”….and this list goes on, from newscasters talking about this during stories, to TV sitcoms hosting live sessions, to people sitting at work and watching YouTube videos of a cute kitten instead of actually working. Social Media is taking over our lives, but this could be a good thing for you and your business. Why? Because it gets you out there and exposed. Social Media helps build you links so more people find your website. Not only that, but it also allows you to interact one-on-one with customers or clients.
