When a person inquires about your services they probably want to see examples of your work. Most people want to see the quality and creativity behind a business and product like yours. It's a very visual business which is why image sharing via Social Media could become your new best friend; because like your business, we are visual beings. Any form of visual content also brands your company and the more branding and content you have out in the social space that you control, the better.
Here are some tips and sites for Online image sharing through Social Media:
