Marketing has changed over the past decade; print advertising is out, and digital and social media are in. All major corporations are doing their best to adapt to these changes - and they have seen great success as a result. But what about the little guys?

From social media, to advertising, to website development, there are many things small businesses can do to improve their presence online and increase their customer base.
