Link In & Lock In

Businesses of all sizes are beginning to establish best practices using Facebook and Twitter.

But many companies have yet to fully leverage the social network for professionals - LinkedIn. With more than 120 million user accounts, LinkedIn has become an essential part of an effective communication plan.

Here are some keys to make the most of linking in:

• Feature your products and services on your company's LinkedIn page, and solicit recommendations from happy customers.
• Use LinkedIn groups to create a community for your customers and invite prospects to join and experience firsthand, the value of doing business with you.
• Marketing success on LinkedIn is the result of a team effort. Utilize company pages, groups, and individual profiles to achieve the most success.

When done correctly, linking-in can lock-in success.
