SPREE in the Social Media

posted in: SPREE 2010 on August 24, 2010 | RSS

Facebook, Twitter, Linked In…social media has become not only a trend, but the norm. And the interesting thing, is it’s not just “social” anymore. Beyond personal posts, photos and playing games together online, you cannot find a social media site where businesses are not using it to marketing themselves.

As a specialty retail entrepreneur, it can be easy to use social media to gain more exposure. All you need is something to say.

For example,  SPREE has ventured into the social media world through Facebook, Twitter, and Linked In. We use each account in a different way to spread the news on updates of our upcoming trade show including special hotel or show deals, attendee contests and to get a better idea of what our “friends, fans and followers” expect to see at our show.

Rule of thumb…be conversational and interactive. Let people reading your posts, tweets, etc. comment on what they’re reading and make it exciting!
