Video: Why including your customers can save your business

You’ve got a great, new idea to improve your stuff, make a little more money, and beat your competition. But before you hit the launch button, did you ask your customers about it?

But it’s not just about the money. In his presentation at SocialMedia.org’s Brands-Only Summit, Mark shares case studies on how leaving your customers out of the conversation can have a deep impact on their daily lives — and even their well-being.
