Tips for new businesses on social

Don't try to be great at all of the platforms. Pick the one where your customers are on most frequently

and ROCK IT! Also stay curious - jump in and play with new technology (Facebook LIVE- Snapchat-etc)

without trying to figure out how to make money from it right away. You never know which tool might be the

next big connector for you!
