22.  You can connect directly with your customers and get their
feedback/suggestions for improving your products or
services.
 Reaching your targeted market for little or no cash
investment is substantial, and the audience wanting your
information voluntarily joins or follows you.
 You can make your customers feel valued as human beings,
not just dollars and cents, and improve their experiences
with your business.
 You can use social media (such as Twitter and Facebook) to
advertise upcoming events or special offers that you think
your customers would enjoy.
 Social media has a wide reach, so your customers may even
spread your message for you if they like it.
 You can send out your message at times when you think your
customers are most likely to see it, and measure the
effectiveness of your message with other tools.

23.  Updating your social media accounts takes time and effort.
 The information is only visible for a short time before newer posts
replace it
 If one of your customers (someone who isn't a chronic complainer,
but a good customer who you want to keep) complains about you
online, that complaint may be seen worldwide. Best thing to do:
Acknowledge that customer immediately and act fast to fix the
problem.
 If you ever make an error (such as an accidental misspelling or
mouthing off to a customer online -- I've seen both happen), it's
seen worldwide and may even be picked up by news channels. Fix it
fast.
