If you were an accommodation business like the Arts Factory or a restaurant or a surf school or any other business for that matter would it be helpful to identify those people promoting your business. You bet.

As New Media continues to grow the ROI on traditional advertising will also continue to diminish. Your trust the recommendations of others far more than they trust an ad. For the Arts Factory there can be no better recommendation that a heartfelt endorsement from a satisfied client. To grow this type on endorsement your business needs a New Media presence, however your presence needs to supported by a New Media listening plan as well.

That way you can find fans like Bobby Vegas and promote, encourage and showcase their good work (promoting your business).
