facebook

i've just been looking at my facebook thread, I do use it for business to communicate but I just wondered what your thoughts were about businesses using it as an 'in your face' marketing platform? I personally don't feel it sits quite right. Would love to know what any of my followers think??

Thanks Google

I work 1 in 4 Saturdays and its my turn this week. Saturdays for us are the quietest day and I was trying to get myself motivated this morning and wondering if those busy fairies would be coming my way today.

Then came a phone call from someone needing an urgent leaflet order, nothing strange about that you may think, but he was in an airport in France about to board his flight to Gatwick desperately needed leaflets printing, so he googled and found us!!!!

I am now printing his order as we speak for him to collect this afternoon.
so thanks google and thank you to Ian from www.wikivorce.com for the order.

Happy Saturday to all you lucky people chilling at home!!!

I'm twittering!!!

I am now on twitter, all this social networking stuff gets verrrrrrrrrry addictive!!

I have this evening decided to follow jason bradbury from the gadget show - only on twitter i'm not stalking him ;-) and guess what he is now following me!! I have absolutely no idea what it all means but I am VERY excited to be followed by a celebrity, a gadget master :-)

well maybe just maybe he might need t-shirts for some important event, see my glass is floating around again!!!

back to twitter ............ see ya

you get out what you put in

I am such a huge believer in 'you get out what you put in' I try every day to put this in to practise in my business (and personal) life, its great when it comes together.

I had heard of a new business opening in Worthing who was on facebook - which I have become a bit obsessed with!- I sent her a message to wish her luck with her new business and offered her support, I think all of us small businesses should stick together and help each other, I also introduced her to my business. Well today she needed one of my services urgently and we were delighted to be able to help.

So a HUGE good luck wish to www.vintagegowns .co.uk who are soon to be opening in Worthing and a big thanks for supporting me. :-)

I must say one last big thank you today to team grasshopper the organic porridge girls who inspired me to do this, I am going to send them an email to say thanks.

Happy weekend to you all

support the travelplaces tigers

I've just sponsored some t-shirts for the lovely Kerry from Travel Places in Worthing, she is doing all sorts of mad things to raise money for comic relief, so please please support them at http://www.justgiving.com/travelplaces

I am getting better at this!!!

well what a busy time I've been having, the busy fairies have been to see me and I have signed artifax up to facebook. I am now busy inviting people to 'be friends'. How statisfying when you log in and have 'friend requests' :-) I am going to use that as another rooftop to shout from, its amazing when you discover how many other local businesses are registered and are using it really well.

I have just got in from another networking event (i quite enjoyed it but don't tell Tina my boss at the chamber!!! I am always banging on about how much I HATE networking I'll never hear the end of it) We started with the workshop I mentioned about blogging, facebook and twitter - but thats still a bit of a mystery to me learnt a few things, mainly not to be boring so that put the pressure on a bit!

The business cards with sweets in were still a huge hit - Sam you are a genius people just love them, any one who's planning on networking I urge you to try it is fab! Even Vicky Vaughan - The Brand Surgery was impressed and she's streets ahead on these sort of ideas, one for you to use their Vix ;-) Oh and Sam the plumber loved them and may want some t-shirts done, so I think thats another roof ticked off. Where's the next??????????????

Well ramble over

Have a Happy Week :-)
