I'll be very interested to learn how else to use social media, and whether Twitter makes any sense at all (right now, I'm in the 'why in the world would anyone want to know I'm eating a salad for lunch?' camp) for my business. But these days, every little thing which can help with marketing, promotion and sales is much appreciated!
If you'll be here in Raleigh, or can make the trip, registration for the breakfast, which will be held at the John P. "Top" Green Neighborhood Center is here.
See you there!
