Social media marketing is all about potential audience. If someone signs up to follow your company on Twitter, when you tweet will that person see it?

Social media marketing is now precariously ensconced as a more-or-less mainstream marketing channel. Companies try to dutifully engage with customers and prospects on all the main social channels, plus as many of the secondary ones as possible.
