A year of change in social media for one company
What is interesting is the fact that when we met to discuss the website at the first of the summer last year, I briefly mentioned social media and they really didn’t express any interest.

Can Twitter get you better customer service?
Yesterday, I was reading my Twitter feed and saw a post from Michael Hyatt (@michaelhyatt), the CEO at Thomas Nelson Publishing in Nashville. He had a bad experience with a national floral company concerning a Mother’s Day delivery to his mother.

Need help using Twitter in your business?
You hear a lot about the importance of using social media in business (and it is important) and you may have heard that social media is free (a lot of tools are free) but the content that you share is more important than the tools. Generating interesting and/or entertaining content probably won’t be free [...]
Why does my business need social media?
Social media tools are an important set of tools for driving traffic to your site and developing interest in you, your business or organization. Social media tools are the vehicles you use to go where your customers are hanging out to let them know what you have to offer. But… it’s not quite that simple.
