Still not using twitter, well you may be missing out on marketing.

Last night I took part in   
Small Business Sunday "tweet you business between 5-7.30" and he retweets his favourites. 
 
Well last night we were one of the winners and our blog about Backing British Business was re twitted to his 90700 followers. 
 
He is a very well respected business man so being retweeted by him is great for business exposure. 
 
Of his 90700 followers I would think that about 80% of followers are people who run or manage business.
 
This means that we got great business 2 business "advertising".
 
The interesting fact was the amount of traffic to our blog, ie 170 reads of the blog with in 2 hours. 
 
As the tweet that he re tweeted was re tweeted by others our blog would have hit over 100000 twitter accounts. 
 
So if you think about it having your message hitting over 100000 people of which most will be business owners or managers for FREE is a great result.
 
Now this is why you may be missing out on twitter marketing if you are not using it.
Most of all thank you Theo Paphitis for re tweeting our blog.

    Twitter is also proving great spider food for Google.If you have a business site its worth anchoring text to it you will be pleasantly surprised at the traffic twitter will drive to you.
