Love this blog post on Penn Olson&#8217;s web site which gives some good examples of small businesses using social media. I work a lot with small businesses ranging from hotels, B&#38;B&#8217;s, restaurants, activity providers and attractions and although I&#8217;m confident to show them the obvious advantages of using social media for their business, it&#8217;s usually [...]

<p>Love this <a href="http://www.penn-olson.com/2009/09/07/3-successful-small-businesses-on-social-media/" target="_blank">blog post</a> on Penn Olson&#8217;s web site which gives some good examples of small businesses using social media. I work a lot with small businesses ranging from hotels, B&amp;B&#8217;s, restaurants, activity providers and attractions and although I&#8217;m confident to show them the obvious advantages of using social media for their business, it&#8217;s usually the big businesses that get the limelight.</p>
<p>Thanks to Sarah Chong I can now also demonstrate how smaller businesses do good on the social media front using Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, blogs and forums to connect with their customers and &#8220;sell&#8221; their stories (and products)</p>
<p>Good blog post which I thought I share with you. See full article <a href="http://www.penn-olson.com/2009/09/07/3-successful-small-businesses-on-social-media/" target="_blank">here</a>.</p>
