3. Markets are conversations.
Are you participating?
Savvy consumers donât trust marketing, they
trust their peers.
The conversation is going on whether you
care to be involved or not.
If you choose not to be involved, you lose
control of the conversation about your
product, your business. You become
irrelevant!
Trust can take years to build but be eroded away
in just a few days.
To avoid disaster, you have to keep one finger
on the pulse of the social web.
