Holiday, Content and B2B Social Media Marketing: j+ Tweets Roundup

The end of November has arrived and I am astonished by how quickly these past couple of weeks have come and gone. Honestly, I have no idea how the entire year has gone by so quickly. I missed recapping last week’s tweets from @jplussocial, but I am back this week with some new posts. There were so many excellent articles I shared through my j+ Media Solutions Twitter account this week. Narrowing it down to the top 5 proved a bit difficult, but my audience helped make the vetting a bit easier.

This week’s most popular tweets, once again based on some basic analytics from my Buffer account, touch upon three different facets of marketing: holiday marketing, content marketing and B2B social media marketing. A bonus marketing “fail” post rounds off the top 5.

Are you ready? Let’s go!
