Stephie’s stay in social media
Quirky Queen (alliteration! yeehaw!) of the Fashion Nation, stephiesays was a guest lecturer last week. i thought she was wearing a really cute, vintage dress.
she was there to tell us more about social media and how one can leverage on it for business, work, school et cetera. one thing really amazed and still amazes, me though. she’s one remarkable entrepreneur who is very passionate of her work, and i think she deserves respect for that. i think i meet more people who grumble and whine and lament about their work and life in general than people who are truly interest-driven and finds passion that keeps them fueled. she used to be an accountant, and one day decided to ditch her job and became a full-time blogger slash fashion entrepreneur. and it was a risk worth taking after all. her fashion blog shop is a huge success. i really look up to her for being bold enough to follow her intuitions and beliefs. she seems very grounded too, what with her busy schedule traveling around the world and at the same time managing her business online.
but i digress.
so stephiesays was telling us how she uses social media to get her business going. her acclaimed blog shop has a lot of us raving about her cute little knick-knacks and vintage stuff. judging from her 2 different twitter accounts, it’s obvious that she uses twitter for different purposes. her ‘business account‘ serves an avenue for her to update her customers of her latest products, not so much in the in-your-face kind of advertising way, but more…uhm, ‘conversational’ while her ‘personal account‘ serves as a tool to bridge the gap between her and her customers.
there you go. a very smart move to keep your customers loving you and your business. she’s gonna stay for some time now. woohoo
