How Social Media Helps You Market Your Small Business
Social media marketing and social networking have quickly become core components of online marketing and PR strategies. With Social Media, it is easier for prospective buyers to find you on the web and easier for you to engage them.
Word of mouth has always been the most powerful form of marketing, but social media and social networking have taken that concept to a new level. Social media provides you the ability to find and engage prospects, grow your network exponentially, build your credibility, shape perceptions of your offerings, “influence the influencers", and get others to share your message from trusted contacts, from existing customers, and other influencers locally or globally.
