Pay attention to new research in your social business

I have been interviewing a variety of companies actively engaged with social media - all who pay attention to the response of their activity in a variety of spaces. I think its good to know that too frequent messages is a common and the highest percentage reasons for quiting brands. I think we should include individuals as brands as well. If you excuse for not using social media is that it takes too much time - slow down and be more selective about your posting and reduce the volume. Your followers might like you more.
