Too busy to respond to online reviews?
Too busy to respond to online reviews both positive & negative…then you may be a “digital dinosaur” If your friends and patrons believe in your business, ask them to leave you a comment on popular review sites that are relevant for your industry.

Don’t Be Annoyed…I’m In Marketing
We’re friends on Facebook or Instagram. You thought you wanted to keep in touch with my life or maybe follow because you thought I was cute. After a few days you realized, damn this girl asks me to “like” or “follow” something every day. Annoying? To some, sure, but I’m in marketing people! I own two businesses.
