You hear it all the time: “I’ll Facebook you!” or “Just check out my MySpace,” but what exactly does that mean. For that matter what in the world is a ‘tweet.’ You have just been introduced to the world of social media. Far more than a simple place to exchange notes and pictures with friends and family, social media like Twitter, FaceBook and MySpace are fast becoming must do’s for any internet business owner. The only question is why? The answer, quite simply is exposure.

Customized Marketing Solutions
In Marketing, "one size fits all" does not apply. Methods change based on products and services offered, demography of prospects, geographical area and even culture. Limited budgets complicate and even disqualify some particularly for expensive advertising mediums such as TV and Print.

The New Marketing Focus of General Motors
The General Motors Corporation emerged in 1931 as a leader in the US Auto industry. GM represents brands such as Cadillac, Chevrolet, GMC, Pontiac, and Hummer among others. In earlier decades, GM was responsible for introducing the world to iconic cars like the Camaro, the Corvette, the Seville, the Firebird, and most recently, the Escalade. The problem with these cars is that although they are beautiful, they do not appeal to consumers that are feeling the effects of the economic and environmental problems that we face in our current world. GM's lack of focus on engine efficiency and keeping customers coming back has finally, after years of inattention to market focus and overall poor management, has finally sent GM into a much publicized and very controversial bankruptcy. Innovative and dependable car manufactures like Honda and Toyota have been taking a large portion of their US market share for many years and the bankruptcy is only adding to this long standing trend. The service, reputation, and quality of GM's cars in recent years have declined forcing loyal US buyers to take their business elsewhere.
