Peter Waller - the power of social media
Is Social Media right for your Business?
By Pete Waller, Digital Marketing Consultant at WSI4BusinessSuccess
The world is becoming more and more digitised in the way we buy, the way we sell and the way we interact with each other. Facebook recently announced that its membership now tops 750 million, and half the populations of UK, US and Canada are members of the social networking site.
Despite these impressive figures, LinkedIn, the professional Social Network platform, has the fastest growing membership. So what does this mean to the business community in general? Why would small businesses invest time, effort and money in Social Media? When is the best time for your business to engage in Social Media?
Pete Waller will share the “do’s and the don’ts” when using Social media as a vehicle for your business in this new world of digitisation.
