I’m not pointing fingers or ranting today, I’m just sort of perplexed. Three times this week I spoke to marketing research and/or loyalty marketing people at major corporations who said something like “Not sure about social media/social networks. We don’t think our core customers are on there.”

To me this is like saying my customers aren’t on the Internet. It’s simply crazy. It’s proven that people who are connected/know each other, tend to have similar attitudes and opinions and also purchase similar products/brands. If you think even one of your customers are on SNS you can bet there’s more!
