- #7 These are potential social media sites in which we can get started into. Also feel that if we are seriously about doing this successfully then we also must a hire an individual or several individuals to contently maintain these sites. The responsible of that position or positions would be to ensure that all information, links and other content is up to date, and provide feedback for the customers. This way, it would not put any extra stress on any of our other employees who are working on other critical projects.
- #8 Why wait to succeed? We need to get started marketing our brand. The possibilities for us to expand our clients list, global influence, and expand our revenue are endless. The only one stopping us from getting ahead is ourselves. I feel that it is imperative for us to get started immediately marketing our brand on social media sites. With all the information I have learned throughout my research I feel that social media exposure is a tool that every company should use if they hope to maximize their opportunity of succeeding in this day and age.
