Just a quick post to say, after a long bout of meaning to get around to it (I do have an excuse) I’ve updated our Flickr page with images from the current O&L collection… To do so, I had to become a ‘pro’ member; which doesn’t sit too comfortably, as I spend about five minutes a [...] This one’s short and sweet…literally. Just thought I’d share this pic of our cat Bert ‘helping’ me to read – Social Media queen – Laura Roeder‘s latest ‘The Dash’ email… I’ve been a subscriber for quite a while, and Laura just seems to get bigger and bigger…not physically of course, I mean her following is growing. Anyway, [...] A bit off topic but I’ve been thinking about Twitter Trends recently and today’s developments compelled me to post. If you’re a regular tweeter then you’ll know what I’m on about but if not then excuse this crude explanation… Twitter Trends are the topics most talked about on Twitter. It’s easy to search tweets by these [...] We’ve developed a bit of an obsession with New Zealand! Being totally honest it hadn’t figured too prominently in our plans for Olli & Lime until recently (which is odd being as I have family there). Anyway, a few weeks back we got invited to the amazing Skout Trade Fair. If you’re in our business this is [...] March 21st, 2009 | Category: blogs, marketing, new zealand, olli & lime, partners, places, retail, social media | Leave a comment
Slightly off-topic again (sorry) but why the obsession with quantity when it comes to Twitter? All this talk about more tweets, regardless of content or more followers, irrespective of who! Is the pursuit of followers human nature or just part of our online-socialisation? Have we all become a bunch of stat-obsessed ‘friend’ chasers and where’s the measure of quality? I just don’t get the attraction of playing rapid ‘follow tag’ with [...] I’ve been working on our business plan today, reviewing and updating what we wrote a year ago, setting new objectives etc, you know the kind of thing. Not the most thrilling activity you’d assume but please stick with me. Things change a lot in a year, that much is obvious, particularly after the year everyone’s just [...] Starting to get some real benefit from my Twitter exploits. Case in point, two mentions from brand new Twitter friend @interiorcomplex… The first is a lovely write-up on our ‘egg’ bedding, the second is a double mention in their 100 imaginative wallpaper designs.

OK, so I’ve definitely got the Twitter bug now! As well as connecting with lots of friendly and helpful ’tweeple’, I’ve stumbled across some fab communities that exist outside of Twitter. One such community is TwitterMoms a brilliant network with an amazing 7,000+ members, 179 of which are male, so perhaps there’s hope for me yet! In all seriousness, [...] It’s been such a hectic weekend, with little time for posting. As I settle in to watch Superbowl 43, just thought I’d give you a little update on our Twitter status… We’ve got our first 100 followers! OK, so we’re not setting the ‘Twittersphere’ on fire with that total, but we haven’t been actively ‘pimping’ ourselves [...] |

have you heard?
If you pay any attention to what I say here or on twitter (and let’s face it not everyone does!) no doubt you’ll have heard about our sale several times already.
This got me to thinking, announcing a sale used to equal big advertising spend. These days though it’s less about money, more about time.
Also, providing you’ve [...]
