Lightspan Digital’s Fortune Cookie
#311. Submitted to the Purple Goldfish Project by Mana Ionescu
“Hi! I love your purple goldfish project and I’d like to share with you my purple goldfish.
I recently started a small social media and email marketing business in Chicago, Lightspan Digital. I work with small businesses to get them started with social media, or to help them find that big idea that will take their digital marketing to the next level. Most of my clients aren’t technical at all, may be a bit skeptical about Social Media and are looking for very clear, simple and direct guidance. To help them I developed the Daily Twitter Workout and the Twikies(r), which I give out for free.
The Daily Twitter Workout is a simple checklist of five daily activities, such as retweet two tweets, chat with two new tweeps, always say thank you, etc., to help any beginner get into a Twitter routine.
But my most successful purple gold fish is the Twitter cookie, aka the Twikies(r). These are custom-made chocolate-dipped fortune cookies that contain marketing messages. They are fun to look at, tasty, and informative, plus they get people excited to discuss and know more about their marketing tips. People absolutely love them.
Here are some of the Twitter reactions:
