Many young people will not be able to afford university so this is probably their only chance.

We are using tweetdeck as you have mentioned anarchyintheuk (great name by the way… reminds me of a song) :) And great that you have a reminder of who we are for future custom as that is all we are hoping for.

Toni what a great analogy of yellow pages versus rapport built up on twitter :)

Thanks for comments, really appreciated.

I wish you well with your twitter adventure.
My personal opinion is that Twitter is as good for tradesmen as it is salesmen. After all I wouldn’t invite a plumber from the yellow pages to enter my home, but I would someone I have built a rapport with, even if it was in multiples of 140 characters!
Also, I don’t know any other plumbers on here, (never mind local ones) so you have a niche at the moment…
Best Regards, Toni

It is always good to see trade businesses develop social networking tools and as you rightly say you wont necessarily get immediate custom, but as one of my accounts follows you I have a constant easy reminder of who you guys are.

Am a bit hooked on Hootsuite at the moment as seems a bit easier to keep track of reply posts and also to schedule tweets.

Excellent to hear you had two plastering leads today from twitter Chris.

Thanks again for comments and appreciate advice and tips.

I have been proactive this morning whilst doing some designing as I run two companies, a design agency and a plastering company and have had two leads for plastering just from twitter. If I had more time I could really market both companies a lot better and more effectively.
