Theo Paphitis Winner!

This week we won the Theo Paphitis Twitter competition #SBS! Take a look at the retweeted tweet below.

What is SBS?

Small Business Sunday, shortened to the hashtag #SBS on Twitter, was created by Theo Paphitis in October 2010. Each week, Theo rewards small businesses that tweet him and describe their businesses in one tweet including the all-important hashtag.

Every Monday night at 8pm, Theo reviews and chooses his favourite lucky six who are then re-tweeted. As he has over 500,000 followers, this provides a massive boost to the chosen lucky businesses.

The benefits range from increased Twitter followers, to positive media publicity and crucially for many, increased sales! Of course, none of this is guaranteed as it is largely down to perseverance and hard work. A smidgen of luck comes in handy.

Really exciting that we’ll be able to attend the annual conference next year, meet fellow winners and have a photograph with the man himself.
