Why utilize Messenger?  Hello, I’m Joe Laber, The Social Barista and branding expert coming to you from my A Cup of Media home studio in Troy, Ohio. Welcome to A Cup of Social where I aim to give you simple and easy-to-use tips for leveraging the power of social media to help grow your customer or donor base.  I’ve been helping radio stations, small businesses and nonprofits engage with their audiences on social since the days of MySpace back in the early 2000s.  Did you know that over 50% of all Facebook accounts utilize Messenger?  In my opinion, Messenger is as important as your phone # and email.  It’s an easy and quick way for a potential or current customer to reach you.  Please make Messenger a priority to your business and nonprofit.  Be sure to check it often and respond as quickly as possible.  Don’t leave them hanging.  No one likes to be ignored.  You can also utilize Messenger to move the conversation from the comment section.  Have FUN connecting on Messenger.  Please continue to follow me for my next freshly brewed blog. Have a question I’d love to hear from you.  Please email me at joe@thesocialbarista.com OR Facebook message me at A Cup of Joe Media.  Thanks so much for joining me and be sure to have a great day on social!
