The power of #Wighthour

Yes really! ANY no matter how big or small, any business from the Isle of Wight, or any wishing to advertise to an Island audience needs to be taking part in #Wighthour (Times above).
It's an invaluable source of free advertising and a great place to find businesses and services you need... as mentioned by the lovely Veronica Pullen - Social Marketing Queen and Author of Social Prospecting for Twitter - on her website veronicapullen.co.uk/ <<Click to see! Her and her husband found 3 businesses they needed in one night all from #Wighthour

1st #WightHour

Ok I will admit I did feel like I was waiting for a party to happen that no one was going to turn up to but thankfully in the first ever #wighthour I wasn't alone!!

It was slow going at first but I got a fair few tweets for the first night and I hope now that week on week it will grow with more and more island businesses following, rt'ing' and promoting not only their own business but also other local businesses too, with the idea/hope that they and others will do the same back!

These are the businesses that tweeted with us tonight and promoted us in the build up to #wighthour!
