Small Business Social Media Marketing Research Study Results

Micro-business entrepreneurship is one of the most powerful forces driving economic innovation and financial empowerment worldwide. Until recently, however, the shift from traditional local and advertising media to online marketing channels has not been leveraged by small businesses relative to their larger counterparts. The growth in adoption of Internet-connected mobile devices, and the attendant social media revolution, has changed that in dramatic ways.
