Been having a running dialogue in my head about small businesses and social media. Social media like Facebook, instagram and twitter.
Social media has become the new 'word of mouth' for small businesses. Can you run a small local business without that business having a Social media presence?
What are your phukers thoughts about this?
I don't doubt face to face networking. I know first hand the old school hand shake way of getting your business to the right people. But there's more then one way to get your business noticed.
its really more dependent on what the business does.
Yes.
My thoughts came from visiting a farmers market. All vendors had links to social media. The new crop (pun intended) of farmers and craft makers are in their thirties and very much involved with social media and connecting to their customers through that medium.
exactly what they want you to think, you are conditioned to feel that it is a necessity. When in fact, face to face networking will give you much more success.
