Ok the title of this post may sound like a future essay title, some poor students might get set in the future… but let me explain…
Well we all know Facebook is addictive as a social networking tool, but today I unleashed it’s power as a tool for local marketing and selling.
After some deliberation I decided to sell my May Ball ticket, little did I believe that I would have sold it within 15 minutes of putting it on Facebook!
I put a post, just testing the water in a group about the Mayball, not a specific group I had made, just a post in one of those annoying large groups.
After 15 mins of what I can only describe as E-bay style mad bidding occurring the ticket was sold with a profit of 75%!!!!
I think Alan Sugar would be proud, having watched the fiasco of last nights Apprentice on BBC1. Does anyone else think it has become like Big Brother for Business grads and Oxford Toffs?
