I've always heard about Twitter but have never used it. I was wondering if anyone here uses it, and if it has any marketing value for your business. How have you used it in the past and at the moment?

Please share your thoughts! Thanks! :D

I went to a seminar earlier this year and the lecturer, Mark Cleghorn, suggested some ways to use twitter for your business. Now, when my brides are at their wedding breakfast, I download a couple of shots onto my iPad and tweet one or two. I always remind them a day or two beforehand to tell all their friends at work or people who can't make the event/ evening guests to follow me on Twitter and Facebook so they can see the shots. Brides love it, especially when they have family abroad who can't make the day. Whilst I'm not sure exactly how much £££ this adds to my business, it certainly gets people talking and asking for cards after the meal.
Hope this helps?
