Social media is universal and valuable for every single profession. It’s a language that has no barriers and the only constant that ties it all together is the consumer. The same consumer buying a car or searching for a dentist is also the same consumer that will shop a funeral home. The buying habits of that consumer will not change regardless of the profession or product they are shopping.
