You'd have to go with:

Create a Facebook fan page and build a community online

2) Twitter
Once again, create a community online, but also syndicate content and create brand awareness

3) LinkedIn

4) Blog
Create one! Updating regular content on your blog will let your customers know that you are real and legit. They will also know that you are knowledgeable. So many blogs have become social networks themselves.
