small business marketing Mojo

On Wednesday, July 06, 2011 President Obama held the first ever Twitter town hall meeting. Using Twitter marks a major milestone in the intersection of social media, technology, and politics. President Obama introduced a new way to reach not only his target audience but those who may be curious about his policies or on the fence with their support. Using Twitter increased his accessibility, and allowed for personal expression (limited to 140 characters) that was seen by everyone following with or without a Twitter account.

What does this have to do with a home based business or small business?

EVERYTHING!

Why is this important to your business?

The same benefits President Obama received your business can too…using Twitter as an online marketing strategy is a cost effective way to reach a larger audience.
