Pete Doyle of Social Retail talks to Nikki Finnemore of Curious Orange about how to use social media to drive sales and how the High Street could attract shoppers back to stores with a bit of imagination and some social power.
Georgie Newbery of Common Farm Flowers explains why she chose to use Twitter to launch and grow her business as an alternative to traditional marketing and PR and why, three years later, with 3,700 twitter followers, she’s glad she did.
