Not every market is checking their Facebook on their smartphones hundreds of times a day, however, most are active on some sort of social networking site that you should be a part of.
Marketers are getting it right; social media is fast becoming the most important digital asset when distributing content, promoting new initiatives or improving customer acquisition.
