Social Media
The goal of social media is to build a community:• Your followers are your online supporters – foster
them like anyone else in your database• Your community is different depending on what
network they choose to follow you on• Your Twitter followers expect different things than your
Facebook followers, just like your direct mail list expects different things than your email newsletter list.
