Why share alive’s content?
According to a recent report by Retail TouchPoints, lack of internal expertise prevents up to 33% of retailers from using social media. That’s why thrive now provides monthly post suggestions that take the guesswork out of social.
Whenever possible, these posts drive readers to natural health retailers by inspiring healthier, more holistic lifestyles.
