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?
People join groups on facebook and also the whole friends of friends thing becomes a huge network where people will ask for someone to paint their house or mow their lawn and people will just jump in with your name just to show they can help
I don't use Facebook but my neighborhood has a local page that I lurk and have noticed this often.
Yes, you can but the stats show overwhelmingly that your competitors will get far more business if they use social media. People join groups on facebook and also the whole friends of friends thing becomes a huge network where people will ask for someone to paint their house or mow their lawn and people will just jump in with your name just to show they can help. It pushes all the right buttons and it doesn't cost a cent. You do a good job and people will tag you in their photo of what you did.
