Editor's Notes
- Can help reach a different demographic – one that doesn’t respond to traditional advertising (no newspapers – can get news on your phone)SEO = getting found onlineViral = now people will tell friends in a more public way
- The restaurant doesn't typically do a brisk lunch business. Note that the paid reach was only 526. The majority of the views came from viral views - aka shares. Over 7k total views. Also note that it was only shared 11 times, so asking for the share is important. There were also 10 new likes on the page during the offer. I attribute this to the offer and shares.

- Location. Tell people where they can find you. Website. You can share a web address with your community. You can give them your website or blog, but consider using a special Twitter landing page. This is a great way to provide additional information of interest to Twitter users looking into your business.Bio. You only get 160 characters to tell people who you are and what you do. Skip the mission statement and talk about the benefits you deliver. And add in a little personality to bring your profile to life.
- CustomersPotential customersNeighborhood or community businessesTrade or professional organizationsPeople who inspire youPeople you talk with the mostA list allows you to see the tweets from the list members as a separate Twitter timeline. This distinguishes them from the crowd so you can pay attention to what these people say. You can also make your lists public or private.
- Search by city name or zip code to find other people, businesses, or organizations in your area.
