With the dawn of web 2.0 and the ever increasing popularity of social networking sites, marketing and branding as we once knew it is long gone.&quot; Pippa continued, &quot;By using social media companies are able to demonstrate a more personable side to their firm, whether they are a small hair salon or a national company. This helps your customers interact with you and develop a closer relationship. Even adding a blog to your website where you comment about your firm and industry news can be a simple, effective social media tool.&quot;</p> <p>Does this seems a little too good to be true?
