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 am finding even the small town only pizza parlor has their menu online
No doubt about that. I think there's a distinction to be made between social media and digital media though. If you put your menu online, the obligation is really minimal. Just the one time cost to make the site, small continuing costs to host the site, and the tiny bit of time it takes to update a menu when it changes. Compared to social media, where someone pretty much has to be checking it daily and interacting with customers.
Out of curiosity, is your question more about the labor to manage a social media presence, or a philosophical one about the relationship between internet and business?
Yes, my question is very broad and there will be companies and small businesses who will survive without social media.
In today's world, I am finding even the small town only pizza parlor has their menu online.
