Advertising goes social

Local agencies, big and small, are hopping on the social media train with lots of hires and increasing revenue.

There's a lot of misunderstanding about what social media marketing does for a business. It isn't as much a tool for generating new leads, for example, as much as it is one for building loyalty and retaining existing clients. Too many businesses who go the social media route have this "if you build it they will come" expectation and forego traditional advertising efforts. The result can be disasterous. Just creating a Twitter or Facebook account isn't going to give people a reason to do business with you...it doesn't even give them a reason to visit your Facebook page.
