As usual it is about fishing where the fish are, and these days many frequent the social networking sites.

For some the effects will be slight but still beneficial for others they could get 100% of their business (and some do!). A very good article thanks.

I think social media is still very much alien to a lot of business owners, which is one of the reasons I wrote <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Death-Traditional-Marketing-Revolution-Strategies/dp/1451594860/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1275638687&sr=8-1" rel="nofollow">my book</a> actually. Of course the internet is not the magic bullet that some businesses think it is, however it should be part of all businesses marketing strategy as more people are now using Google as opposed to using the Yellow Pages/newspaper adverts etc. Simon Hi David,

You’ve indentified a great point here. I think social media is still very much alien to a lot of business owners, which is one of the reasons I wrote my book actually.

Of course the internet is not the magic bullet that some businesses think it is, however it should be part of all businesses marketing strategy as more people are now using Google as opposed to using the Yellow Pages/newspaper adverts etc.

Teaching them about the benefits is a good starting point and when they realize how easy it is may be then they'll understand the benefits.

Teaching them about the benefits is a good starting point and when they realize how easy it is may be then they’ll understand the benefits.
