Social media startup Social2Step gears up for national stage
Social2Step is starting to land clients locally and across the U.S.
The downtown Detroit-based social media startup recently completed a pilot with Quicken Loans and has a longstanding relationship with a Lake Tahoe-based concert promotion company.
“They’re using my platform to get the word out on social media when an act comes into Lake Tahoe,” says Susan Burke, founder & CEO of Social2Step. “They have been a fun client.”
Burke launched Social2Step early last year when she joined Bizdom. Her startup empowers employees to become ambassadors for their company’s products online. The hope is that more sales makes a healthier business and in turn makes the jobs of the employees advocating for the products and services more secure.
Social2Step and its team of three people is currently closing in on $50,000 in annual revenue for this year. Next year Burke hopes to hit $150,000 as she works to grow the company’s customer base.
“We’re in client acquisition mode,” Burke says.
