What advice would you give for an upcoming retail store, on how to advertise using the social media?

Try a mobile web/app with built-in SMS text messaging. You can tell you customers you now have an app and download it to your phone. Once your customers and new customers download you app they can subscribe to your sms text messaging. You then can ... more
