Having a Social Media presence is becoming a very important aspect of being in business in Ireland today and more businesses are engaging on online networking sites such as Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest and YouTube all the time.
Irish people in general are gaining a reputation for being very active online. Just look at this infographic by eightytwenty to see just how active. Apparently Ireland has 600,000 daily twitter users, tweeting 1 million tweets a day and has the 10th highest Twitter users per capita! Imagine that…
What business wouldn’t want to have a tweet or 10 included in that mix, putting their brand name boldly out there? It’s an ideal marketing tool for businesses to optimise.
The team at Really Grand Events, including our Social Media Officer Valerie O’Donovan, have totally embraced the social media opportunities available and have found them to be most rewarding.
It can be difficult to get noticed on twitter, in among all those million tweets though.
Enter the inspiring Samantha, who tweets as @tweetinggoddess, and who came up with the fun and interactive weekly phenomenon that is #irishbizparty a year ago. This provides an amazing platform for Irish businesses to engage with and to help each other out while raising their business profile online. And it’s fun too!
We have been a regular attendee at this very social networking event every week since last July and cannot recommend it highly enough. It is a wonderful experience to watch @tweetinggoddess, @irishbizparty and co trending and setting the twitter timeline on fire every Wednesday night between 9 and 11 pm!
We have made many connections and friends on #irishbizparty since last July and were truly honoured last Wednesday night when it was announced that we are to be #Starbiz for October 23rd! I’m sure our excited whoops registered on a Richter Scale somewhere in the world!
We are really looking forward to this grand event and are following in the footsteps of all the amazing #Starbiz to date. Please do come along and join us, it’s going to be such fun! We’re planning some business and party tips and have a wonderful prize to give away too.
You’ll find us on Twitter at @RGrandEvents on the night, where we’ll be proudly displaying our #Starbiz hashtag.
It’s going to be magic!
