Social Media, provides you and your business to connect with your customers on a large scale, and on a personal level. Social media is also much more cost effective in comparison to the traditional methods of advertising, which include newspaper or magazine adverts. Social media can be measured to see how many people have viewed and engaged with a post and also by the amount of followers gained. In my opinion, there is no excuse for a company to not be on social media! Its FREE!
