A Small Business Using Social Media Well This Christmas
I want to use this post to profile one of the best examples of social media for a small business : the wonderful Fran Hollywood aka ‘Made in Hollywood’. In a nutshell, Made in Hollywood are a company that offer polystyrene and foam solutions for marketing and other areas. Not very sexy right? Think again. This week Fran showed his social media savvy once again.
It started with a tweet
Sarah, our account manager, picked up on a tweet by @madeinhollywood, when he said that he was cutting snowflakes for his son’s Christmas fair. He soon replied…
Was it too good to be true?
Some nervous waiting ensued in the Simply Zesty office and yesterday, we received a rather lovely package in the post
And then it snowed
After much hunting of the right tools and some painstaking assembly by Sarah, our office was transformed from this
to this
Fran didn’t ask for any money for the decorations, he simply did something out of generosity to bring some much needed Christmas cheer to the office. And he definitely didn’t ask us to blog about it or even take pictures of the finished product. But we felt compelled to because Fran had done something so nice and unexpected. It genuinely brightened up our day and our office and we wanted to show our appreciation by sharing it on our blog and hopefully, helping Fran out with a bit of promotion for his business. Again, which he never even hinted at.
And those that know Fran will know that this isn’t an isolated incident. He is fairly well known as the foamy friend (my phrase) of the social media scene in Ireland. He provided polystyrene pieces at the Irish blog awards and also for Maxroam, for example, and you can see more of his impressive work on his marketing reel.
So, a big thanks to Fran at Made in Hollywood, be sure to check his site out for all your foam and polystyrene needs. As far as I’m aware, he’s the best in the business
