When I see an interesting or fun marketing idea, I love to blog about it. Recently, I saw a retail restaurant business offering a discount on your next meal if you post a blog about them.  Social Media seems to get great results when you offer a coupon or promotions to your followers.

Here is how this particular promotions works.  I call it THE POST AND RECEIVE:

Step One: Post a positive comment about the business, we will call it Alison’s Burritos, on Facebook or Twitter.
Step Two: Bring a copy of that post or tweet into Alison’s Burritos on your next visit

The Reward: You Receive 15% off your order that day

This is a great small business marketing idea! There are so many ways you can use this concept in your business to boost your online visibility, boost the chatter about you in social media, increase customers repeating a visit to your store and so much more!
