Doing it right takes effort
The research proves it is effective, but you have to do it right to get the benefits. You should:
- setup the social sites: facebook, twitter and others
- ‘post’ and ‘tweet’ at least daily
- do it at the right times during the day: 11am, 4pm, 8pm
- remind people of events a week before, the day before and the day of the event
- encourage ‘likes’ and comments so that friends of fans also see the posts and tweets
