Community has always been an important aspect of the interaction between businesses and their patrons. In the earliest days of America, people visited their local neighborhood stores, got to know the owners and the owners got to know its patrons, creating a bond of loyalty and trust. Now, businesses all over the world have the opportunity to grow in the online realm, but this does not mean that because they do not meet their customers face-to-face they should ignore the importance of community.
The best businesses grow as a result of word-of-mouth and social media is simply a high-quality word-of-mouth that is more efficiently delivered and appropriately executed by technology. Social media allows customers to express their issues, share reviews and voice their concerns. For businesses, this opens up an opportunity to create a sense of community around their brand, company or service. It also provides them with a quick system for contacting customers, a simple way for customers to contact a business and a marketing plan that can draw even more loyal consumers to their businesses.

Using a blend of case studies, a primer on classic customer service maxims, and instructions on how to execute quality customer service, this book will help any business better understand the opportunities that social media presents as a means of serving customers. Key lessons include:
