I agree on the website. For social, I'm leaning towards focusing on a couple of platforms really well, rather than spreading ourselves too thin. Maybe Instagram for visibility and then a Facebook group for community building and direct engagement.

客户服务从第一天起就必须是一流的。口碑仍然是最强大的营销工具之一。如果人们有很好的体验,他们就会告诉别人。
