Which Social Media Platform is Right for Your Small Business?
You have a limited budget. You have a limited amount of time. But you KNOW the power of social media for small business marketing.
So where should you invest your energy?
It's a big question. All too often small business marketers try to rush in all at once, guns blazing – trying to post everywhere, get on every network, and get their business in front of as many eyes as possible. OR they take the other extreme and avoid social media entirely because it's too difficult to know where to start.
But we advocate a different approach: targeted strategy. Our belief:
By taking a step back and figuring out where and how to engage your audience on social media, you'll be able to invest your limited resources where it makes the most sense for your business.
