Local Business Networking …
Twittering The Night Away
Last night I went to the http://counterpointnetworking.co.uk monthly event. This time it was held in Hythe at the Red Lion and consisted around 15 of us … and because it was a lovely evening we had the lovely buffet outside in the garden … and a very pleasant time was had by all.
Jo and Simon Dodds run Counter Point Matters … where they have many string to their bow … Among them is web building and social marketing online … Jo’s a twitter fiend and has just bagged a regular weekly column in the Kent on Saturday paper … writing up on it …
So the hot topic was Twitter and a little about Facebook and Linked In … but mainly Twitter as its grabbing the nation … I think in no small way due to Stephen Fry’s promotion of it a few months back.
I love the Web 2.0 stuff and if you’re even half interested you should get yourself over to Twitter … http://twitter.com and sign up for an account in order that you can start promoting your business … The rules are simple enough …
- Let your followers know a little about you (in a social sense) …
- Promote other people’s products
- Promote your own products, posts etc
And that’s it … basically …
Go sign up …

Hi Jane
Thanks for the mention! We really enjoyed the networking, especially as the conversation turned to online marketing for local businesses, with local business owners!
See you at the next one, on Thu 30 Jul at the South Kent Gateway office in Folkestone; more details on our website.
Thanks
You’re very welcome Jo … The benefits of local networking can’t really be overstated … All business owners (of all sizes) need to support and be supported by their local community … and for me that applies both off and online ….
Roll on the next event …
