Do you think there is such a condition as social media burnout? Companies these days are told you need to be on Facebook, you need to be on Twitter, you need to be doing a blog, and now google+ has arrived on the scene I just feel a little overwhelmed by it all. I also have a feeling it’s not going to stop there. Do our customers really care whether we tweet, blog, + and follow things or are they just concerned with finding the ideal product at the ideal price? Part of me thinks it’s my age (!) and the fast changing nature of internet selling can seem a little overwhelming at times. That’s why I am so pleased to have on board a fantastic website company who keep us up to date with all the latest developments and bring about the changes we need as a company. Our next move with them is to get our mcommerce site up and running. 
It’s not all a big chore though. The really positive thing I have gained from Twitter is fabulous new suppliers. There are some really talented artists, designer & product makers who are working so hard to bring their products to market and Twitter helps them to find a voice and a following. The smaller designers bring something fresh and extremely appealing to our website and I love the fact they are designed and made in the UK. The other positive thing I’ve gained from Twitter is support when you are having a tough day or just feeling a little low. Someone always comes along and offers you a much needed virtual cup of tea and a few wise words!
I think the reality for me is some days I love it and other days it’s a chore. Now time for that cup of tea!
