Lastly, here’s a thoughtful quote from Netbase:

Social media is relational, meaning it’s give and take. Users don’t want to feel like they’re being sold to every time they interact with your brand. Of course, they understand that your product or service is the common denominator in the relationship, but providing added value through human interest stories can take your brand’s social feeds to a whole new level.
