How Social Media Can Power Your Business – Kitchen Table Talks

I had the pleasure of spending some time with Joe Sorge, who runs AJ Bombers in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, as well as Water Buffalo, and a few other restaurants in town. We were talking about how he uses social media to power his business and I found it fascinating. Here’s why this is a Kitchen Table Talks video: Joe shares how he uses a tool to humanize his business.

    There is no question at all regarding effectiveness of social media or web 2.0 when it is done right. If I just hang a blog or video out there, it works good. If I share it on my social media platforms, the participation is much greater!

    Looks like a fantastic event and there are some terrific resources listed here. Thank you for sharing.A note to people who are jazzed by the idea urban homesteading, but may be limited by space, time or other circumstances: adopting just ONE of the practices of urban homesteading can be a rewarding and soul-nourishing experience. Start simply, live simply, and – before you know it – you’ve shifted your relationship with the land.

    That's a great way to use Twitter. I don't know if any restaurants in Norway (where I live) use Twitter this way.

    So, do you have Twitter special discounts? Meals and discounts only people following you on Twitter get?

    Wow! This whole Chris Brogan thing is so huge! I love it! I can personally tell you that AJ Bombers is always on my Twitter and because of that, it reminds me that when I am hungry and looking for a place to go, that, oh yeah, AJ Bombers has the BEST Portabella Burgers anywhere! I'm going there. How can your advertising or branding get any better than that! Keep up the good work!
