Are My Customers On Social Media? Do I Need Social Media for My Business?
YES! Yes, you do. Facebook, Twitter, Foursquare, and GOOGLE+ are the modern day word of mouth. Believe us when we tell you, “Nothing spreads faster than information over social media!”
Example: When Chris arrived at Adam’s Auto Repair Shop he checked into the shop through Foursquare on his smart phone. He appreciated the service so much that he received at Adam’s Auto Repair Shop, he shared the experience with his friends on Facebook. He also has a twitter account so he tweeted it out to his 1,000 followers. In an instant, tons of people know who, where, and what Adam’s Auto Repair Shop is all about. Now because of the good review by Chris, those people tell their friends, those friends tell their friends, and even more friends tell their friends. Adam’s has just become “Internet Famous!” That is your goal!
