social media, yes but…
What do these numbers really mean?
Is it a hype that will end soon?
What is the impact for my business?

the number of accounts?
Influence of social media is hard to measure with numbers.I can start twittering today and quit next week.How many inactive accounts, how many unread posts are there?It’s about how many people read the content.

conclusions
Don’t close your eyes for social mediabecause they are here to stay.
They improve or damage your reputation.
Invite your customers to talk on your platform – if not they talk about you anyway.

It’s an online public relations medium: > Show sincere interest in your customer. > Let your customer talk and listen attentively. > Talk about what concerns your customer.
