Hey guys! I'm looking for your opinions on here, maybe someone can help? A friend of mine had the idea to set up his own bike business for some time and recently we decided to do it...so we set up a little bike shop
He's taking care of the bike-related things, which is great as I'm less clued up about that, and I'm dealing with promoting the business etc and things like that. We've now got our own website but when I was doing some research into bike shops I found that there are loads...so the competition is though. We've been looking at promoting our site to get ahead of the competition and that's where I need your help. Anyone who has set up their own business, do you know the best ways to get the word out about it? I know that Facebook and Twitter are good...but I don't really know how to use them for business! Should we set up both Facebook and Twitter accounts? I've also come across things like this http://blog.icontact.com/blog/eight-things-to-help-your-business/ but not really sure what to make of it. Anyone here know a thing or two about having a bike-related business...and how we can get the word out about ours? Any help would be great, or if you just want to comment on the idea, feel free! I'm always looking for suggestions or advice. Thanks guys
