Your Social-Media Strategy Should Not Be Random. Here Are 5 Steps to Streamline It.
By now you've probably recognized that social media is a valuable -- and necessary -- marketing tool for your business. But if your strategy is best summed up as "throw things at the wall and see what sticks" -- you're not alone. In a 2015 survey by Clutch, just 53 percent of small businesses said they actively use social to market their business.
