When it comes to social media, Facebook is still king. With over one billion users world wide, abundant targeting options and easy ad launch features, it's a great way to connect or get your message out to people who share your interests or who may be good candidates for your products or services. Setup up a Facebook business page, and then reach out to your target audience on a planned schedule (ie, daily, weekly or monthly, etc.) with interesting content or useful information to engage your users and have a dialog with them. Also consider media like Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest, LinkedIn, as appropriate. Social marketing is a growing strategy and is predicted to become the preferred method in coming years to reach younger generations rather than traditional marketing methods. Think social, and have a plan that fits your needs!

What's your foundation built upon? Any architect will tell you that it's critical to have a strong and deep foundation to support high structures, or anyone who loves nature understands that those tall trees have deep roots to keep them from falling over. What's true for buildings is also true for your life and business. The stronger your anchor, the higher your potential success. Those grounded in Christ know the parable about building your foundation upon the rock instead of the shifting sands to help support growth and withstand the storms that come our way. Build your foundation upon the Rock of Ages, Jesus Christ. Through Him you'll find true strength, purpose, and solid foundation to achieve great success in life and business. Let Landusky help!
