Better Engagement Breeds More Sales

“Successful Companies In Social Media Function More Like Entertainment Companies, Publishers Or Party Planners Than As Traditional Advertisers.” – Erik Qualman The days of sleazy sales pitches and hard sells has seen it’s final horizon.  These tactics are just not as effective as they once were.  With the pace of technology and how much our society is on-the-go, attention spans have decreased and online interactions are the new norm.  Consumers are craving connections above all else.
