Engaging Mothers Through Social Media: The Opportunity

• Attraction to health, lifestyle and wellness
• Role model to daughters, nieces, and other family members
Social Media: Example
Social Networking = Social Support to Kick the Habit
• It’s always good to know that other people feel your pain (and know what you’re doing is so difficult to follow through on!).
• Good luck Angela! I definitely know how hard it is to quit. I’ve been able to get down to smoking only while drinking, but that is one hard habit to break!
