Who wins? WordPress, Twitter, Facebook amongst resalers?

May 25, 2009 by Auntie Kate of Too Good to be Threw

Our poll of where people lurk is closed….see comments for the results! Many thanks to all who participated and who received 2 free months on HowToConsign.com!

Who wins? WordPress, Twitter, Facebook amongst resalers?

Or maybe even Sharing?

Okay, here’s the thing. It’s late afternoon on Memorial Day, and I get this brilliant idea: who sees me where? So, from now until Friday midnight (my midnight, Eastern time)…. I am offering the

Consignment/ Resale/ Thrift Shop Stimulus Plan!

We need a break, to, from the economic news, so for the dreaded J months: June and July, you can get a FREE Valued Sponsor listing for your shop at HowToConsign.com simply by emailing me and telling me where you ran accross this offer first. Here on my blog? A Twitter from me that sent you here for details? Facebook? Sharing?

Just email me from HTC or any other place, tell me where you saw it “first”, and tell me your shop’s URL, city and state/province. I’ll put you on our Clickable Map & Directory for two months FREE!

Want to participate, but don’t have a web site yet? No problem. For a $5 donation to the overhead of TGtbT.com, I’ll design you a e-business card like Christine’s or Nancy’s. You’ll even get your own URL to use!The Exchange at HTC....#3 on GOOGLE! Nancy’s e-biz card at HTC for The Exchange in Lake Wales FL, is #3 on Google, just after the Google map and the Lake Wales city site!

Free. Your shop’s Valued Sponsor listing on HTC. For 2 months. Remember, tell me where you saw this offer!

    Thanks all who participated in helping us gain a snapshot of where resalers visit on the Web. Results?
    25% saw the offer on Facebook first
    25% saw it on Sharing
    40% saw it here, on my blog
    and 10% saw it on Twitter.

    Not sure what all this means, but I did notice 2 things: first that half the responses didn’t “email me” as requested but just posted at FB or Twitter…

    and that over 85% didn’t bother to take me up on it. Why do you think they didn’t want 2 free months? Did they think there was a catch? Was the offer worthless to them? Did they not understand it? Too complicated? Not interested? Too busy to email? Went out of their zone of attention as fast as it went in?

    Interesting results to perhaps take into account with YOUR customers in your shop. Hmmm.

    Read this offer here… need to check your blog more often. My routine is read sharing, then come over to your blog. Must have been busy lately

    Did you get my e-mail saying I first saw this offer on Facebook?

    I want to play (but no longer have a shop) … facebook is where I heard of the offer. 🙂
