In today’s market, social media has become an essential factor of building a business strategy. It is very important that we approach and engage customers through social sites. In the beginning of this article, it shows that a successful social media strategy depends on establishing a sound business goal. Goals must be defined clearly to utilize the appropriate social media in achieving the business goal. After the goals are set, it is also important to define the metrics and tactics. This is because these will measure whether the social media efforts are creating consideration and conversions with the target audience. Through this process, companies can evaluate and measure success and failures, and prepare for a better business strategy to succeed in social media.

I agree with your insight Soojin. Firms need to take social sites like Facebook or Twitter into account as many of their potential customers are most likely to use either one of them. It is hard to get people to engage with your product in any other way nowadays. Utilizing such approach is a good way of getting people to know what you're selling.
