In today's digital world of business just running a flat website is not the best option to gain new business. Simply setting up a blog and telling your current or potential customer is not enough to keep an attention span. If a small business has a Facebook Page and a Twitter account but offers no useful information and only pitches of "Buy This" or "We have new X product" clients/customers will actually lose interest and possibly move on to the brands that are engaging their social minds. Postling offers the small business the means to add their various sites, look into the Twitter conversations, the Facebook fan posts and even interact from within the site. Why not have one place to jump right into the heart of your business and see how you can offer something different or spectacular for your niche? Stay connected.
