This means that social media is present in everything we do, so this mean that once a retailer publishes something in media it can’t be erased, so retailers are taking a chance by showing their products to the media world. And can lead to people getting to know their products and buying it by the presence of the media.

ReplyDeleteIn my own words, “Having a social media presence is table stakes every single retailer has one” means that each business or designer could join any type of social. However, they take their own risk that sales could increase or decrease. Facebook, Instagram, Twitter or any other social website would help but once again it’s risky.
