The Design Hive counts down to meeting Theo Paphitis at the Small Business Sunday Event #sbsevent2018.
Back in December, we incredibly won the Retail Entrepreneur Theo Paphitis, Small Business Sunday #sbs. We were lucky enough to have our tweet retweeted to over 505,000 of Theo’s followers, making us one of six winners. We are now one of Theo’s 2000 #SBS winners in the UK.
As a result of winning the #sbs, our social media accounts saw an extraordinary rise in retweets, interaction with other businesses and new followers. We have gained exposure from local papers and the wonderful burnham-on-sea.com, as well as extra orders for our branding, graphic design and website design services.
We are now profiled on the #SBS website (www.theopaphitissbs.com) that is exclusive to all Small Business Sunday winners. This is a members’ only selling platform where we can interact with other #sbs winners, write blog posts, get business tips and advice and sell our services. An incredible platform to help our business grow and develop.
We are also part of the #sbswinnershour on Twitter, where we can network with other #sbs winners every week.
We are delighted to be invited to the annual #SBS networking event on February 23rd to take advantage of the networking opportunities and collect our official winners certificate from Theo Paphitis. We are really looking forward to going next Friday. Now for the biggest question, what shall we wear?!!
