<p style="line-height: 200%;" class="MsoNormal"> <a href="http://www.blindacre.com/marketing">Social media</a> has given us the ability to have real-time interaction with our “friends” or keep an eye on them throughout the year to get an idea of what they are interested in.<span> </span>You can link your Facebook page to sites that allow you to create gift exchanges, pick the person you are exchanging with, make a wish list and even buy and send.<span> </span></p>
<p>Many retailers have taken to social media as a way to reach out to customers.<span> </span>The networks are flooded with store events, new product information, sales, special offers and contests.<span> </span>If retailers aren’t in the social media game this holiday season, they are potentially not playing the game.<span> </span></p>
