I'm in the #sbs Club!

Last night, like many a Sunday night since Theo Paphitis launched #sbs, I tweeted my link to @theopaphitis.  After doing my #sbs tweet last night I was distracted by editing photographs of some Ribbon corsages I'd made earlier in the day. When checking my phone I had a full inbox of emails and as I scrolled down they were all notifications from twitter. Before I even saw all the lovely #sbs congratulations from followers new and old, I just knew I'd scored that elusive #sbs retweet. Finally, I was in! I'm now a member of that special #sbs club! Already, I've seen a nice influx of new followers on twitter and yet again some new businesses have appeared on my radar - I always like to check out the #sbs entrants and winners.

Congratulations to my fellow #sbs winners from last night -

#sbs - Small Business Sunday. If you tweet @theophaphitis between 5pm and 7.30pm, including the #sbs hashtag, you may be one of 6 lucky people he will RT to his 130,000+ followers.

It's a simple concept, but so effective at raising awareness of small businesses and really rather lovely of Theo Paphitis to take the time to do this.

If you're a fellow #sbs winner or not, please leave your website and twitter links, along with a line about what you do, so we can connect - be great to find more fantastic businesses!
