Currently on the home page of this website there is a short article called “Twitter and Business,” and in that article I linked to an article on Twitter’s website called Business 101. In that article one of the businesses using Twitter in innovative ways is a coffee shop in Houston that uses Twitter to let their customers order before they arrive.
Well, Houston is a long way from Spearfish, SD, but Rapid City is pretty close, and I just noticed today that Bully Blends, a local Rapid City coffee shop, has started “tweeting” their Soup-of-the-Day and Daily Specials to their Twitter followers. In my opinion this is an excellent way to make use of the far (and near) reaching capability of Twitter.
I’m going to be keeping my eyes open for other local (and further) businesses using Twitter and other social media to market their business and connect with people on a variety of levels, and when I find them I’ll let you know here. Stay tuned…
