Should Small Businesses Use Social Media to Connect with Customers?

Social Media For Small Businesses: Part 1

Running a business today is simply not the same as it was a couple decades ago. And thanks to a constantly evolving digital environment, small businesses have to work especially hard to reach–and hold onto-their customers.
