Social Networking Via One Steak Burrito w/Pico

Check out this photo that I snapped while in line at Panchero's a few minutes ago. Too often people create the obligatory Facebook fan page or start Twittering for their business and then totally forget to promote this new channel across their consumer touchpoints because they assume that friends and fans will automatically flock to connect with them. Of course, adding the little social buttons to your website is a start but your network will grow even faster – especially if your business is retail in nature – if you literally put this announcement between your customer and their burrito. Maximize places where your customers already are.

Nick,

Thanks for the post. Those just went up this week; it's great to see they're being noticed! Hopefully we'll be able to continue integrating our online and brick-n-mortar presence. Thanks again.

Joel,

Thanks for the speedy reply. The signs looks great. Well done. Twitter is definitely coming into its own whether the rest of the world is ready or not. It is more than tipping this year. Keep up the great work (and the great burritos).

Hey Nick, I'm not 100% sure if this kick-started Panchero's Twitter promotion, but check out this article from IZEA's founder Ted Murphy from back on December 12: www.ted.me/pancheros-twitter-kinda/

I always thought this was a brilliant post, and I wouldn't be surprised if it influenced the Panchero's marketing dept.

Good point and great additional post, Drew. I hadn't read that from Ted.
