Social media has the potential to attact and hold the attendtion of a vast demographic of people, especially those who have grown numb to traditional media.

Social media offers several benefits to companies such as an affordable marketing channel, the ability to spread messages with the click of a button, the opportunity to enhance brand reputation, build credibility, increase website traffic and engage customers.

Although the majority of companies are aware of the benefits associated with social media, many have not established a social media strategy. Why? It could be due to limited resources or simply they do not know where to begin.
