Remember the good old days:
"Woodside Road built to transport Redwood trees - providing material for rebuilt homes in San Francisco - EXTRA EXTRA READ ALL ABOUT IT"

Those days, although only a memory for most, are what helped us to arrive at Web 2.0, also known as social media. Imagine Peninsula Shops as your personal town crier for your independently owned business operation.

Since the internet has proved itself for both communication and commerce; social media has proven itself as valuable. Peninsula Shops realizes that local merchants, both big and small, need help getting a foot hold on gaining a social media presence. Not only does Peninsula Shops realize the value in social media's viral nature, but we also share the knowledge and value of local livelihood.

Peninsula native and founder of Peninsula Shops, Jason E. Sutherland, has been working with digital media and marketing communication as a professional for over ten years. While filling out his digital tool belt and helping various types of companies along the way, Jason realized the immediate demand for easily managed and clear cost effective communication. With the down turn economy and explosive social media tools easily available to both consumer and businesses alike Jason also realized the need for a leveraged presence online and in the community.

There is no doubt creating a facebook or twitter page for yourself or your company can be beneficial, but does it really grow your customer base? Don't be fooled into thinking your customer base will automatically grow because of an online social media presence. Just like with any type of networking it takes consistent and clear communication that helps to define your store, restaurant, product or service. All in all, your current customer base will loyally follow you.

Peninsula Shops instantly expands your local customer following online and throughout the community. Business members and consumers are instantly connected through the Peninsula Shops public online community platform, www.peninsulashops.com.
