The Power of social media

So I was skeptical of opening a Twitter account for my business. I did the Facebook fan page for www.myscratchofflabels.com and have over 100 fans, but keeping up with this blog, the Facebook Fan Page, Twitter, networking links, fulfilling orders, etc has proven to be a little too much.

But the more I get into Twitter and explore- the more I understand and now I am seeing what everyone was talking about...I can see how Twitter is a little farther reaching than Facebook for business. I love Facebook for personal reasons, not business reasons.

Want to follow me on Twitter? @myscratchoffs
Want to Fan me on Facebook? www.facebook.com/myscratchofflabels

You want to know the kicker of this all...my sales from 09" to 10" are up almost 50%...and I think that my marketing strategy from August of 09 is taking effect now and that is why we are seeing the results. And I have been posting coupon codes on FB and Twitter which is resulting in sales. Who knew!

Well this is a Thanks for all your support...

10% off $10 or more with coupon code TWITTER10 at www.myscratchofflabels.com

  1. I'm glad to see your marketing strategy is working well! I initially started with a blog and Twitter, and have moved into Facebook. I think Twitter has much more far reaching audience than a Facebook Fan page. Congrats on the increase in business!
