#3. Social Media
Businesses are relying more and more on social media to get the word out about their value proposition. Not all social networks provide access to a company’s target audience, so some research is necessary to find where your prospective clients have a tendency to visit. For B2B companies, this usually means focusing on LinkedIn and Google+ over Facebook and Twitter.

#3. Social Media
Here’s a Tip:Feature new website content (like blog posts, articles, or offers) prominently across ALL social media accounts. Just because most B2B audiences frequent certain social networks doesn’t mean you should give up on all the others. Post about content and see which social network produces the most traffic.
