Guys, do you use Social Media networks to promote your small business?
Mr Lamington's new job is wine sales after struggling for many many years at the other hand. Vineyard work, low pay long hours and no hope in hell for any increase. Especially after Melbourne's awful 40 degree heatwave week + bushfire wiping out everything in the vineyard. He has to hit $100K in sales before he earns commission (which is a very generous %) and he gets base pay plus car allowance otherwise until he hits this magic figure. Obviously he is super keen to pump up his sales. His company owns the vineyards globally and only sells direct to the public. They have calling leads and 'areas' that they specialise in. But they are allowed to sell through friends etc and referrals from their customers. Often wine buffs have friends who are wine buffs.
I am on Twitter & Facebook and he has asked for permission to advertise himself on the interwebz.
Does anyone use these mediums? I have heard it has worked quite well for small businesses but it has not really worked for my side biz which thankfully has grown somehow through our website's google ranking -> perhaps people who book girls for bucks parties don't trawl Twitter and Facebook for inspiration So I want to do this right for him ... If anyone has suggestions etc. That would be great.
His company is a little old school and said it will not work but happy for him to try it.
