E-commerce And Social Media – Brand Buzz

With the coming of the new year, do the rules stay the same on using social media to build your brand?  Jaci Russo visited the Afternoon Drive Home to talk about it, particularly in the realm of Ecommerce.

Russo said that 2013 will be the year of Ecommerce.  Russo said,
