The Facebook “Like” is the new “tip of
the hat” or the new “pat on the back.” It’s always nice when another Facebook
user gives you the thumbs up for something you’ve
posted.
Snips has had a presence on Facebook for the last few
years, and our experience has been great. We love getting a “Like,” and it’s
been wonderful to post things instantaneously.
For example,
at the 2012 AHR Expo in Chicago,
we were able to visit booths, take photos, and upload them to the Internet. We
were able to show our Facebook followers some of the new products at the show
right away, including products that aren’t even on the market
yet.
Social media has changed the game, and not just for
news publications like Snips. I see lots of HVAC and sheet metal companies that
are now on Facebook, and I’d love to know how your experience has been. What
are you using Facebook for? Have you found that your presence on sites such as
Facebook and Twitter has helped with business? You can tell us your experiences
by commenting on this blog or by sending me an e-mail at
siegelj@bnpmedia.com. Of
course you can also let us know your social media experiences by sharing on our
pages atwww.Facebook.com/SnipsMagorwww.Twitter.com/SnipsMag.
