Why Every Business Needs a Website

In this Mobile world, any business that desires new customers or clients needs a website. Almost all of your customers will use the internet to find businesses before they try anything else.

A winning social media strategy keeps your brand in the conversation and doesn’t allow malcontents and competitors to speak for you. Not all social media is created equal. Companies often make the mistake of diving into social media without a clear plan. Their expectations are unrealistic and when they don’t get the results they expect, they lose interest, “proving” social media doesn’t work.
