Here's more proof that all those hours you spend on Facebook and Twitter are not frivolous.
You were working the whole time!
A recent survey out of the States suggests that small business owners see word-of-mouth as the No. 1 way to gain new customers.
That certainly holds true here in Vernon, where networking plays a crucial role in the success of local companies. Business owners need to get out and build relationships with the people they want to do business with.
To make the most of the word-of-mouth trend, business owners are leaning heavily on social media – making it their No. 2 online marketing priority after their website. Part of the appeal no doubt is the cost – Facebook and Twitter are free.
So don't be shy!
Grab a cup of coffee – or a glass of wine – log into Facebook or Twitter and get to work!
