Get a Free Social Media Twist this Summer!

How can your business be more remarkable and memorable to      your existing and potential customers? BIG question, huh?

We believe that one of the best ways to start unraveling this question is with a simple approach: (Visualise) Write down the type of business you’re in, its characteristics and also each one of the activities that you do everyday. Now, because you do them everyday and exactly the same way, you took for granted that there is where the opportunity lies!

But don’t worry, this time you don’t have to come up with ideas. We will do it for you, using online tools and social networks! Here’s how it works:

  • Step 1: Leave a comment below  with your name, company, website and social media presence (if any).
  • Step 2: We will select FIVE companies
  • Step 3: The Channelship team will brainstorm some cool ideas to make your business different and remarkable.
  • Step 4: Within the next few days we will deliver a specific video-answer for each one of the companies selected.

…and since we will squeeze our brains for you, we would be delighted to see your company take action.  Fair enough?

Go on, leave your comment below!! (Submissions finish at 6PM (GMT) on Tuesday, June 22nd)

    Hi guys this is a fantastic idea, a really good exercise and great to extend your creative thinking.

    This one may be quite a challenge that's why when I saw this I thought it would be perfect to try out. Ok the situation is that I have organised to take over a bar at weekends in about 4 weeks time. It is in a rural enough town and there is a brand new bar opening in a weeks time.

    There is a minimum budget for renovation so the essentials can be tackled. I thought something remarkable could be achieved to stand it out from the rest of the bars in the area …………. is this challenging enough :)

    Anything can be thought of from even the “Name” to the entertainment to marketing it.

    If this is something you would like to get your teeth into, please contact me for further info on spelljim@gmail.com. I look forward to seeing the outcome.

    Many Thanks,

    Garrett Spellman.

    Hello guys!!!

    Not sure if you are still running this, but if so, I would LOVE for you to make some social media suggestions for a support group in Cork.

    We're relativily new, and as the majority of us met and communicated on Twitter etc, it seems fitting that social media remains a dominant channel for us all to converse and share on.

    I've setting up some step by steps and activities, and evenually we'll be branching out and exploring more options….hopefully with you help!

    Here's our Facebook page. No other sites set up yet, so what would you recommend?

    Hi Tina, thanks for the submission. Unfortunately, we already chose 5 companies and delivered the 5 video-answers.
    We're about to do a follow up post but it went very well with many companies taking action.
    Will keep you posted when we do the next round of social media twists :)
    All the best
