Benefits for us
Able to communicate with our customers- drive to data base through competitions (digital + print), free newsletters, paid facebook adverts
Able to monitor our brand digitally (e.g. picked up Chinese blog and copy cat activity in China and able to stop this)
Can monitor ROI quickly- how many clicks/hits
The pace is moving fast though- can be over whelming

what we do and don’t do
more than 80% of posts are not about selling
actively participate in other’s posts from like minded business or fora-
Share knowledge freely- things that your expert in - answer on line questions about the topic, offer to run a Q and A session on line
Competitions and giveaways- in exchange for reviews and feed back- this has been very successful for us both in NZ and UK-check local regulations

Make sure your website is
