Tech Around Town

Grow Socially is based in Wilmington, MA, helping companies large and small alike with their online marketing efforts, including social media, smartphone technology, and much more.

The times, oh they sure are a'changin'.

Here at Grow Socially, we are big fans of the new technologies that are all around us, even right here in Wilmington. 

The way we communicate with each other is changing dramatically, on a strikingly regular basis. We send iPhone messages to our children, Tweet with businesses, share Facebook posts with distant relatives, and much more.

You may have seen QR codes on menus or receipts at your favorite restaurants - the funny looking little black and white squares that you scan with your smartphone. These are only going to grow in relevancy as time goes on.

Our schools and local businesses will be adopting new technologies as time goes on. 1-to-1 learning is becoming commonplace, and many of our neighboring towns have adopted this already. Virtually every business has a website, or online presence of some kind.
