Week 16; post 1

With so many social media platforms available, it is easy to see how this generation of entrepreneurs can become so successful with seemingly little to no marketing budget.  One doesn't need to spend a lot to get their business name out there and start gaining popularity.  When choosing which social media platforms will work best for your business, it is important to consider the product or service you are selling, the size of your business, and the budget you are working with.

Social media has become a convenient and accepted way for consumers to communicate with businesses.  Many have facebook business pages and twitter accounts that allow their customers and associates to communication with them without ever having to pick up the phone.  Customers feel more connected to the companies they purchase from when the opportunity exists to get feedback promptly when they have a concern. As far as positive social media communication experiences go, I really have not attempted communication through any platforms so I can’t say that I have had any!  I have had unpleasant experiences when trying to communicate with businesses. My worst experiences have been dealing with phone companies, both in my personal life and professional life.  I never leave comments or feedback on social media. Several years ago I was so infuriated by a situation with AT&T that I took to Yelp. I left my negative comments and never received anything in r...
