• With so much information, social media is a way to focus on what's relevant / of interest.
• Because size doesn't matter any more - all companies can be equal on social media
• It's where many of your customers live
• Because people are talking about you there, so you should join the conversation
• It provides speed of reaction and flexibility
• If you're not there, people will wonder why not
• It provides a boost to your traditional marketing
• People want companies they can chat to
• People are looking for your business - you need to listen
• You'll get free ideas to improve your business
• It works
• Ecommerce interrupted the human Interaction' and Social Media gives us it back
