Twitter- Is it right for my retail business?

As retailers, we're time starved on a daily basis. Yet we know we have to find and make the time to do marketing for our business. In today's challenging retail market place, the biggest marekting buzz for businesses of all size is to use social media and social networking as a way to market a business.

Somewhere, between the boxes and the ordering, we have heard that SM can help us improve the marketing reach and help build a loyal community for our business. So how can we manage to find time we need to participate in social networking for our businesses?
