Social media marketing has never been more important, and according to Knoxweb, it may become more vital than traditional online marketing.
Of course, Google isn’t going anywhere, and Google Ads do work, but if you aren’t including social media marketing into the picture, you could be losing out on valuable business with people that you may never reach through email marketing.
