What most companies think
1.When we get started, people will show up
2.Well, we gave it a couple months, and no one showed up, so let’s quit

Remember
• Social media marketing is about building relationships, not receipts. The receipts will come, but only if you invest the time and attention it takes to build relationships with your customers. Think lifetime value, not sale value
