2011 is the year that many garden companies fully embraced social media as a component of their marketing efforts. Conventional advertising such as the newspaper or radio just don't offer the same results that social media offers. In the gardening trade there is no longer the feeling that was prevalent just 5 or 6 years ago that social media has little bearing on the trade, or your business.
I pulled up one of my blog posts from 2006, "Garden Center Magazine Interview". Is it still relevant? While you could substitute the term "social media" for the term "blog", in my mind the post still rings true. A link to the post is below.
Thanks for stopping by all these years and joining in the conversation. Happy New Year!
