Editor's Notes
Social Media’s big and everyone’s jumping onto the bandwagon so that they are not left behind.
Cellular Service, Customer Service, Loyalty, Lack or response,
Cellular Service, Customer Service, Loyalty, Lack or response,
There’s no question that you should be on Social Media and much as I am fervent advocate, I have to warn you that getting on the Social Media space is not a game. It’s not just another Facebook Account. If you are jumping on the bandwagon with the myth mindset that Social Media is free and easy and you can jump in slowly to get your foot wet first, you may be running a risk right there. Social Media is a double edged sword. Like nuclear energy it opens up infinite possibilities but if it’s well handled, it can result in a disaster… in the Social Media context, a PR Disaster.
