SOCIAL MEDIA- at least do this






Social media is here in a BIG way, and it’s here to stay. 






What does this mean to you and your business?  Social media is simply another tool to help sell your brand, and it’s a good one. 

It’s estimated that for a small company to run a social media strategy it will take about 30 hours of work per month.  But if you don’t have a dedicated person to handle your social media, who has that kind of extra time in their schedule?  Here’s something you can do with social media, that will get you in the game without a huge investment of time:

Produce a good video and put it on your company home page, YouTube, and Vimeo.  That, in and of itself will increase your SEO score by 50x, and establish a good visual branding presence. 

Since video is such a powerful branding tool, produce a good one.  Hire an experienced producer with a proven track record.   However, if you are considering doing the video yourself, you’ll likely do more harm than good by branding yourself with an unpolished “home-made” image.
