3 things that matter…
#SMTLive@greggweiss
1) ALL time is “real.” Real-Time Marketing is appropriate time marketing.
2) Everything ladders back to a business metric (but nobody is jumping off their sofas and running to the mall to buy your product because of a tweet).
3) The real power of social media is being social.
…But there’s a 4th thing that REALLY matters!
#SMTLive@greggweiss
Your customers are your very best marketers!
