👩🏾‍🍳Successful marketing depends on creating a multi channel customer experience that is integrated across platforms, and that includes leveraging social media engagement as a means of reaching customers. People spend hours every day on their devices and on social media, and if you are not capturing at 1 tenth of their attention, that means that they are engaging with someone else's brand or business instead of yours. #HMbyjeanette #engagement #socialmediamarketing #success #entrepreneurship #entrepreneur #publicforum #communication #trinidadandtobago🇹🇹 #cleangranola #periperisaucett #periperi #hotsauce #morugatrinidadscorpion #pepper #spicy #realfood #freshingredients #chefmade #foodinnovator #businessstoryteller #womaninbusiness #chefbusiness #globalflavors #caribbeanflavors https://www.instagram.com/p/CQt0S9mnmoQ/?utm_medium=tumblr
