Small businesses are rapidly venturing into social networks, providing a prime opportunity for marketers trying to reach this sometimes elusive segment.
Warrillow & Co., in new research released at last month's 2008 Warrillow Summit in Las Vegas, found that 28% of small-business owners had registered for at least one social networking site.
