Mod Girl explains what Google+ means for businesses in 2014, and how to make the best use of it. With 300 million active monthly users, Google+ is a serious competitor to Facebook and Twitter. Businesses need to consider how shoppers are using their smartphones and to what extent their business coordinates their mobile platform with current trends in shoppers’ smartphone use.

Social media is free to set up, but the main players in social media often require a certain amount of advertising investment in order to maximize its potential. What opportunities and options are available and how can businesses utilize these wisely? Another related point developed by Mod Girl Marketing is what do businesses need to do to effectively utilize their social media pages and engage potential customers and clients, creating a following?
