Express Yourself!
With so many plaƞorms….Facebook, Pinterest, TwiƩer, Instagram….how do you
know what social media plaƞorm is the right one to communicate your message?
Maybe you are having a church bake sale and you want to let the community
know about the sale, and that you will be selling sugar cookies by the dozen, where
do you post that message? Perhaps you have found the perfect sugar cookie recipe
and you want to share it with the world, where do you share it? Or maybe your sugar
cookies are so preƩy that you want to capture how they look before your family
gobbles them up, how do you show your friends the cookies before they are gone?
Here is a good (767-8370) visual that will help you decide which plaƞorm to use
for what you want to express.
