By Rachel Last week, I wrote a blog about the debate surrounding business owners’ decision to outsource their social media efforts or keep them in house.

Over the past few months, we’ve been asking our clients for feedback about their experience in social media, particularly those who outsource these efforts to our company. In September, we talked with Mimi Reeves, Owner of Balloons and More, in November, we talked with Susan Pera, Owner of The Cornerstone Coffeehouse, and in January, we […]

This is the second and last part of “You Give Social Media Management a Bad Name.” Read Part I: The “Tweet-for-Hires.” And that’s exactly what I did. Over the next few weeks, I really got to know their business, their customers, and what these customers loved about the place. I also discovered things they were […]

You might even consider outsourcing your efforts to a social media manager since you can’t seem to find the time and you’re not really clear on what […]
