Social Media

Social media has transformed the interactions happening amongst consumers and businesses by lessening the gap between the two. With 1/3 of the world’s population using social networks, it is not surprising that companies have had to embrace this digital marketing channel. The problem is that even though the majority of companies believe social media to be integral to their business and marketing endeavors, a whopping 60% of small business owners are not able to track ROI from their social media activities.
