Does SoMe do a business good? The Wedding Week


Business name: check. Business email: check. Business website: check. Business Twitter account? Facebook Fan Page? Um, eh, well...

Social networking can be overwhelming. Between Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter, this new form of networking and marketing can be confusing and time consuming, but I'm telling you: it's worth the effort.

Each Tuesday, I'm going to share with you a sampling of some New Jersey companies, organizations and entrepreneurs who have embraced Twitter and Facebook, making Social Media a part of their business and marketing plan. And you'll hear from different "Tweeps" to learn how this new trend works for them. While you're browsing the list below, take a look at the quality/frequency of their Tweets and posts. It's not just about making announcements and sharing links. It's also about customer service and keeping a constant dialog and communication with your "followers."

From Amy DeGiulio of Sugar Flower Shop in NYC (also serving NJ):

Twitter has helped me to make connections with everyone from local brides to wedding planners and even CEOs. I am working on bringing my flowers to an NYC retail market and I found out how to submit new products from the CEOs Twitter page. They liked my idea and my products should be on store shelves by the end of the month! This will be a dramatic increase in my business and a great opportunity for local DIY brides and home bakers to save money while still creating show-stopping cakes. More details on the specific retailer to come when I can finally announce it.

This list is a continuation from my "Week of Weddings" with NJWedding.com(NJWedding: Twitter | Facebook). If you or someone you know is planning a wedding or big event, this list will definitely help!
