Good business is about making connections, and social media is ALL ABOUT the connections. "In your face" promotions and a barrage of intrusive ads and emails are pretty much nothing more than actual spam. People hate spam, and people despise spammers. Nobody wants his/her business to be associated with such tactics. Well, except the actual spammers, I guess. True businesspeople want their business to be discussed and mentioned and noticed and linked and met with positive vibes, not reacted to with exasperation and disgust and immediately deleted. Word of mouth is always the best advertisement, and social media is just that: a great, big, international word-of-mouth campaign. The biggest cocktail party in the world! Absolutely correct, Jim.
