The Practicalities
> Digital is here to stay; join in or loose out
> It requires commitment in time more than money vs conventional marketing methods and materials
> The rules and playing fields for digital change constantly; keep in the loop or use external agencies to assist.
> It needs constant attention in our 24/7 world as conversations and news change by the minute
> It does require some expertise although anyone with an interest can engage
