Twitter

I've decided I really like Twitter and we are starting to get some benefit from it.

Successes we have had with Twitter are:

1) Had an opportunity to give a prize to the organisers of the http://www.mumpreneurconference.com/, and an invite from them to send 100 leaflets to go into their goodie bags + our logo will go on their web page soon. I would never have known about them and for the price of a stamp I get all that "free" advertising - fantastic.

2) Had a local hotel contact us recently asking how they can get involved with the Trails - followed up with an email which I now need to follow up with a phone call. To get a hotel contact us rather than the other way round gives me much more confidence that they are interested in what I've got to say/sell!

3) I know more about what Treasure Trails Hampshire is up to than any other area of the TT business as they are the only other part of the Treasure Trails business that uses Twitter.

Small but satisfying.

There are lots of websites giving advice on how to get the best of out of it and what the point of it is, but in a nutshell, I think as a follower it is a way to get bite sized bits of information from an organisation or person you find interesting and as a twitterer you can give interesting snippets of information to your followers, bearing in mind that people buy people! More on this to come.
