Some numbers…
• You see it is supposed to be a dialogue, not a monologue.
• The big problem of marketers: They don‘tunderstand channels where you have to talk andlisten and the same time.
• For companies resistance to social media is futile:- Millions of people are creating content for the social
web.
- Your competitors are already there.
- Your customers have been there for a long time.
- If you business isn‘t putting itself out there, it ought tobe.

Remember - Social Media is…
…not just anotherchannel to market
your products.
