MANAGEMENT + MEASUREMENT + GROWTH
NectarMedia | Nectar Tasting Room | Spokane Wine Magazine | @nectarmedia | mayhem@nectarmedia.co
“It doesn’t matter how many friends, followers,
or subscribers you have. Or even the number of
posts, tweets, or follower to following ratio!.
What matters is everything that happens after
you post, tweet, blog, share, or participate. Did
you grab attention? Did you deliver delight?
Initiate a discussion? Cause people to take
action? DID YOU PROVIDE VALUE?!
-Avinash Kaushik (Analytics Legend)
