Hat tip:
Take Aways!! Marketing starts the second you have an idea for a product /
service / business!! Every tactic taken should be with a goal in mind!! Social is more than just engagement – it’s listening and reacting to
criticisms!! Listen & respond, you’ll get a better product & happier customers!! Opt-in is more powerful than push!! Call to action gets you more !! Follow the trail to see where you’re losing people along the buying
path!
THANK YOU!
