However, many small business owners don't have the time or resources available to participate in social media marketing. Some also don't understand the value of it. I think as marketing consultants, it is our job to help educate them and make them more aware of why it is really to their benefit to become engaged in social media. I am afraid many only look at the bottom line in terms of $$ - but don't we all? Isn't that we are all in business? To make money. I think it is a mindset we are up against and a feeling of being already overwhelmed from the perspective of a small business owner. http://www.newhorizons123.com http://www.newhorIzons123.blogspot.com I agree 100%.

They want a real connection from a real person. I would even daresay a flawed person. I love nights when Gary Vaynerchuk is watching the Jets loose. Nothing against the Jets, but Gary isn't a happy boy and he lights up Twitter with his lack of joy. Having a "pro" for the sake of having a pro is about useless. No amount of expertise is going to make up for charisma. Quirky, interesting people with an obsession for Troll dolls or a penchant for pimentos would make effective "social media people". .-= Todd Wallace´s last blog ..<a href="http://www.binaryhaiku.com/2009/12/11/be-alert/" rel="nofollow">Be Alert</a> =-.
