Having an online store is key in various categories. Also, being spoken of is also vital. I see social media and online advertising as new methods of getting people to the point of sale. You say our mission is to sell and I agree with that in part. I’ve always seen advertising as one of the driving forces to get people to the place where they can buy a product or service, then it’s all up to the sales team, customer service and the quality of your product. <br /><br />Social gets people talking about your brand and gets them curious, but it doesn’t make a sale, or more importantly doesn’t promote REPEAT buys. Let’s put it this way, advertising may fool you once, but after one shitty experience, you can have the best advertising in the world and you won’t get one more dime from me. I’ve boycotted restaurants for years, telling people about my experiences and I’ve loyally touted the ones I keep going to. Part of the way I do that is through social media because I’m free to give my opinion. <br /><br />Let’s put it this way, although 24/7 is a hell of a boxing infomercial, I’ve seen the Mayweather product and at the most I’ll see a pirated version of the product or let someone else take the hit. <br /><br />Now about the good old times? Wow, if I start on this topic I’ll sound like a bitter Medicare beneficiary.Jokerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01224267023770962108noreply@blogger.com
