Which Social Media Platform Is Right For Your Small Business?

You’re on Facebook. You’ve heard your kid talk about Instagram, but mixed into sentences with other words you’re quite certain she made up.

The other day, you saw the President tweeted again about something or another, and last week you read the news and like many others, found Snapchat’s IPO valuation to be pure insanity.

In your spare time (haha!), since it seems to be ubiquitous, you Google how to leverage social media for your business and then the phone rings so you’ll get back to that later. To be honest, it’s hard to keep up with it all so maybe you won’t, but you take comfort in thinking you can’t possibly be the only one who hasn’t jumped into the conversation on behalf of your company.

If you’re like us (on any other day other than the day the Falcons finally make it to the Super Bowl, #RiseUp), you’re watching the big game for one reason: the ads.

For us, it’s the event within the event and one that’s much more interesting to watch. This year, that’s mostly because we want to see who took their $5 million they spent on an ad and created something brilliant. Something that speaks to us, and in just 30 seconds, connects us with the brand and maybe even with those around us. For $5 million they better get that part right, but what if we told you that connecting with your audience in this way doesn’t have to cost you as much?
