Come and join us for a new game of Tit4Tat. Where you get 4 comments from me (on your Facebook business page) for your ONE. It is really simple, fun and FAST. We are seeing some awesome results like 200% reach increase for some! You will need to come join our Vendor Group on Facebook first and then go to the ‘EVENTS’ tab within the group to read more and join in.
p.s. this is not something we will be doing super often, maybe once a month at most… so it pays to be in the vendor group and be active in it!

The results are on for our first ever Tit4Tat game and they were SO good!
The Hive’s engagement on Facebook went up 600% !! (and views 225%), others reported 80% more reach, 400+ etc. etc, We all know Facebook is all about the engagement of course and a little support from us all, for each other, goes such a long way. It was especially fantastic to see how the participants all got into it and started commenting on each other’s pages as well and it did exactly what I hoped it would do; it snow-balled into us all benefitting massively.
I want to thank those first participants for making this an awesome first Tit4Tat and I think it is safe to say we will be doing them more!
