Get customers with TwitterI will be speaking and teaching this topic on Monday June 15th 2009 at the Round Table Pizza on the corner of Thurstan and Vancouver Mall Blvd.   I will be at a Networking meeting that meets there every Monday at noon.  The meeting is over at 1:00.  If you have ever wondered how to use Twitter in your business effectively then come and learn about some tools and ideas that will make it work for you.  Here is a Twitter story  taken from an article called Conversational Marketing with Twitter by Kalena Jordan

In February 2009, Utah-based Mexican restaurant chain Costa Vida sent a one-day-only offer for a free burrito to its 80 Twitter followers.  As part of the promotion, Costa Vida required customers to have an electronic coupon on their mobile phone.

The burrito was designed to test the effectiveness of leveraging social media websites like Twitter and FaceBook in brand building and driving restaurant traffic.  However, Costa Vida customers tweeted about the promotion and forwarded the offer to friends via mobile phone.  Their followers told their own followers and so on, until more than 2500 people inundated one of Costa Vida’s stores looking for their free burrito.

Time Saver: Connect ClipMarks, Twitter, And Facebook

Published by Dotty under social marketing

I am always looking for time saving ideas. It occurred to me that when I registered for Clip Marks there was an application that connects it to Twitter. Whenever I find something useful on the Internet I can ClipMark it and then share it with Twitter – then the next step is to connect my Twitter account to my Facebook account with the Facebook application that is in Twitter. Now whenever I ClipMark something it gets posted in ClipMark, Twitter, and Facebook. This means that as I browse the Internet I am furthering my social networking without even thinking about it – what a deal. I am going to be looking for ways to further the circle of social networking sites that are in the loop.
