6 AUGUST 2026 WorldWide Drilling Resource® Think about this for a minute . . . So you are investing your valuable time and effort on social media and I might add that of a paid employee most likely, every day to try to see how many clicks or clacks you get by the end of a given time. Do you go back and see if you can find out how many you actually got? Or better yet, how many customers you actually closed through those clicks or clacks? Have you put a pencil to the cost of that for your company for each and every one of the people who are playing on social media? Oh, let’s not forget the photos and two sentences you put up there about someone else buying something from your company to try, I guess, to impress someone else? So if you are trying to entice a new customer who might perhaps find the post you made - and when he / she turns around to tell someone else to look at it to see what they think, and oops your finger slipped, and there it went. Where to? I have no idea - maybe cyberspace or to another person’s post? Your guess is as good as mine. Try to find it again. I can’t even find it when I take a photo of the item(s) so I can identify it the next day. Poof! Gone in a flash. And there went your customer just as quickly. And also there went your money right out into cyberspace along with it ~ yes, all the money you pay someone to put all those things on social media that more than likely the average clicks, clacks, or likes (without any comments) only amount to ten? Ok, I’ll give you the benefit of the doubt, 15. Make you feel better? I have a suggestion for you, go back to mailed print magazines to put your money into something tangible which your customers will be able to see and carry with them wherever they go, as they dream about that new rig, all those important tools they need to work with, or what have you. And they now have a way to actually contact you while they are trav- eling down the road, resting in their lounge chair, eating lunch, or whenever. I would like to wager your bottom line will go up.
