Every Sunday evening on Twitter, Theo Paphitis runs a competition called Small Business Sunday #SBS where small businesses are invited to tweet about their business to Theo in the hope that he will re-tweet to his 150,000 followers and gain his approval and interest in their business – almost like the Dragons Den of Twitter!
As you can imagine, this is a highly sought after prize and only 6 winners worldwide are chosen each week, with up to 800 businesses entering the competition each week (further statistics can be found at http://www.virtualbusinesscentre.com/category/virtual/theo-paphitis).
Having religiously tweeted every Sunday evening for the past 7 weeks, I am absolutely delighted to announce that on Sunday 10th July 2011, Bambino Beads Limited have won the very sought-after award of becoming a member of Theo Paphitis SBS Club on Twitter!
The implications of this are huge – my products have now gained the interest and approval of one of the most well known and liked entrepreneurs in the world and he has tweeted this to all of his fans and followers and there is a high probability that I will meet Mr Paphitis himself in the near future!
The past few days have been absolutely manic, my email system nearly went in to meltdown on Sunday evening and Monday morning with the Twitter world going frantic, people wishing me well, ordering products and congratulating me on a fabulous win. I feel as though I have won the lottery!
I established Bambino Beads in April 2011 so it is a very new business and with an SBS win under my belt I think things are looking good.
Bambino Beads who are based in Nottingham design and create the most beautiful handmade personalised jewellery for children aged 3 and over. Each piece is made to order, personalised to your own specification, colour and name and then gift-wrapped and sent to you. Products includes necklaces, bracelets and now the new lunchbag keyrings.
I’m hoping that after my SBS win, every child will want to be a Bambino Beads child!
I hope you find this of interest and if you would like to discuss it further please contact me on 0776 3341849.
