Take a look at this post at mashable.

In June, he talked Sterling Goss owner Terry Walsh into beefing up his social media presence. At the time, it really was pretty anemic. The brand had just 88 Facebook fans, ignored Foursquare completely and wasn't really on Twitter. (It still isn't. The person who handled Twitter for Sterling Goss forgot the password.)

This is a success story that a lot of us can learn from. even though the business in question is a butcher, the techniques used could help you boost your online presence and get in those extra sales you've always wanted

What do you think? Could this effectively work for you ?

Thanks,

It's food for thought (see what I did there? )
Some good ideas, like the promotion, like and you can win a $10 voucher, that might be an idea worth playing with.

Must admit, I really struggle with my FB and G+ pages, and normally end up just linking a forum post

...must try harder...

That is real fuel for the brain on a cold Friday afternoon!

Just thinking about whether we could all like each other's facebook pages to get our likes up?

I am just about to put up a post that will give a

I think there is a thread around the forum for that

When I look at some of the big brands on facebook, they all have some sort of gimmick, whether its a game, or the well known fb apps, but it shows that even something as simple as an image, combined with some great content, and a little something given away for free can work wonders. Perhaps it was just easier because the store in question is a butcher?

There is a long running thread about FB business pages and giving each other a like. Maybe stick yours on the end

Yes, possibly. Just got to tinker around with it and try out a few options, I guess!

Thanks for that. I tried to put my page on but I am not allowed to do it yet as not up to 10 posts Nearly there, I think, so will do as soon as I get to 10! I've given you a like!
