People want to interact with each other - plain and simple. Don&#8217;t focus on pushing your customers to buy your product.

I’ve seen small businesses create interest groups and communities on http://www.konnects.com focused all around their company and seen great amounts of success.

Especially with the internet generation (or Gen Y) growing up, social media is where it&#039;s at. You have to make an appearance where your customers are.
