How do you use social media to promote yourself and/or the company/firm? I do a regular Blog and use social media outlets to promote testimonials and promotional videos. We're tried Twitter and Pinterest and we feed to a Company Facebook page. Our latest project is to integrate videos about our market and region onto our Website home page. We're attempting to give clients and potential clients an insider view of what it's like to live in Connecticut.
