Twitter is a great way to PROMOTE your business

New from Serendipity Girls Designer Dresses

I have been using Twitter for quite a while now and initially I didn't really GET-IT, but now I think I do
It is a great place to meet like minded entrepreneurs, make friends and contacts and really use social media as a way of promoting your business and its philosophy and ideas.

Also it helped me learn about great marketing support provided by the following but especially try theopaphitissbs.com

1. Theo Paphitis of BBC Dragons Den who offers a sponsorship/ approval tweet to all his followers for 6 selected small businesses each Sunday between 5 & 7.30pm via his Small Business Sunday initiative (#SBS)
   UPDATE (31/3/12) Theo's own advice at the SBS event in Birmingham was that if you make your biz tweet stand out (quirky or whatever) and you must have a website as he checks , it doesn't have to be great but it has to be there and of course 'random - how i feel on the night' probably plays a part as well, just don't give up.
        
2. Jacky Gold of Knickerbox & Ann Summers fame does something similar on a Wednesday between 1 & 3pm called Women On Wednesday where she will retweet to her followers her top 3 small businesses each week via #WOW
3. Daily @Purpledognet choose to promote their business of the day via #purplebiz, you have to retweet the businesses daily and eventually it will be your chance.
4. Daily #gbiz choose to promote their business of the day , you have to retweet the businesses daily and eventually it will be your chance.
5. Daily #mbiz choose to promote their business of the day , you have to retweet the businesses daily and eventually it will be your chance.

So why not have a go, there will be many more marketing helps to be found which I haven't yet uncovered indeed let me know about them, oh and whilst you are reading this maybe join BritMums, there are lots of us now and follow my Blog on the left hand side , quite a long way down. You are too kind.
