Do they still provide some benefit in today's marketplace? Perhaps. But, there is so much more to the story.

Your social media presence, or lack of one, is a lot like your website. I don’t remember the last time I opened the phonebook to look up a business, do you? A businesses website and social media can tell me more about a business than any phone book could- unless it doesn’t. In your marketing mix- where does social fit in? You may have the radio, tv, billboard, and maybe even web banner spots rolling, but how does your social look?
