Small businesses need to market using social media. This establishes the opportunity to interact with their customers and fans on their business fan page on Facebook and/or send Tweets to let people know about special coupons and offers they are putting out there — these will attract return business from people already sold on your products and services.

Stop whining. I mean it.
