Social Media and your Business.

Posted on by

Social Media  is the new outlet for businesses to stay in touch with customers, vendors, and let’s face it the whole world.   So how do you decide what is the right fit for your business in the Social Media realm ?  Do you want to get your toe wet with a facebook page, or do you want to just dive in the deep end and have it all, blogs, you tube, twitter, the works.  

The First thing you want to consider is what is your goal in using Social Media, is it to attract new customers, provide news for current customers, or both.  Decide your purpose, whether it be simple, or multi-faceted, so you know what the goals of your Social networking will be.

The second thing to consider is time, how much time do you have to devote to this.  If you are like most small business owners, then the answer will be “not much time at all”, if that is the case, you need to consider hiring a Social Media Administrator like Spencer Technology Solutions to handle it for you.

The third thing is of course budget, how much money do you want to invest.  While some companies need to invest a lot into Social Media because marketing is their livelyhood, others may just want a presence so they are keeping up with  technology and assuring their company’s respect among its peers. 

Whatever your Social Media needs, Spencer Technology Solutions is here to help you.  We offer personalized packages to meet the needs of your company no matter how large or small.  Give us a call today, (540-815-9397) and let us help you make a splash with Social Media.

Here’s a Quarter …

Imagine a world without the internet — without cell phones — without microwaves and VCR’s ?  I can imagine it easily because when I was a child none of those things were common household items.  But today’s generation has no idea what a life without the convience of all this technology is like.

Remember the days when you had to walk to a pay phone if your car broke down ? My daughter has no idea what a payphone is.  We were listening to the radio and heard the song “Here’s a Quarter –Call someone who cares.”  and I had to explain to he what the quarter was for – she had never heard of needing a quarter to make a phone call.  Now I bet you are thinking  to yourself  “When was the last time I saw a pay phone ? ”

Technology is changing with increasing speed, so what was current six months ago is no outdated.  How can you keep up with the technology you need, and manage all other things you have on your plate ?  You call an expert, like Spencer Technology Solutions.
