Recently our company did an audit of social media use of the members of one of our clients. It's not surprising that many of them use Facebook to market their products and services to end-users/consumers. With well over 1.8 billion users Facebook has the eyeballs. However, recent changes in Facebook require more than just simple posting. Here I offer up some statistics of what seems to work...well...when it comes to content and consumer content. Next month Phil K. James from Good Milkshake Digital will join me to dive into more Marketing4Business. For now you get to listen to me prather on... Here you go!

If you've been with the Business News Hour for the past dozen years you know we love to put up some video. We believe it adds to the engagement level and it's good for business. That's the feeling of the people behind Tero International an organization that, according to our guest Kyle Plummer, provides their clients with "confidence". Here Kyle talks about video, video production and their brand new video production studio. It's really amazing and yes...we have video. Should your company get into video? We think it's a great idea...even if you start small which is what Tero did originally...
