Discovering Social Media Use for Your Business-Webinar Link
Social Media sites are quickly developing and consumers are using the sites to find businesses and products for them. These sites give businesses an opportunity to connect with current and potential customers, market their products/services, and track new business leads.

This webinar looks at the top five social media sites (Facebook, Twitter, Pinterst, LinkedIn, Foursquare) including: statistics for businesses, general information, user demographics, site limitations, consumer expectations, and example business pages.
