Smells like a fresh tweet

There's something about Twitter that makes it irresistible to people looking to create new and innovative ways to connect with their customers.

Take Baker Tweet for example.

Poke London rolls out this ingenious use of the messaging service to alert customers what's fresh out of the oven at Albion Cafe in London. See the video below:

While it's certainly cool to see things like this roll out, you almost have wonder if it's a little bit before its time. While there are many of us out there who would love to get this sort of info sent to us there are still lots of people who'd prefer to just call the place up and see what's fresh. Still, you have to admire those who are willing to put themselves out there on the cutting edge of cupcake communications. Delicious indeed!

Odell Brewing's Twitter Beer

Odell Brewing of Fort Collins, CO has rolled out a Twitter-sourced beer. Odell is a client of Reel Motion Media and we've been helping them every step of the way to connect and engage their fans in a whole new way.

You can follow Odell on twitter at www.twitter.com/odellbrewing. Be sure to suggest your favorite style of beer to be the twitterbrew that will be produced on Odell's famous 5 barrel pilot system.

While we've learned of other twitter inspired beers, like 21st Amendment Brewing's "Spring Tweets", we really hope that Odell's twitter beer will be different as it leverages the homebrew spirit at the core of Odell's culture and allows people who wouldn't normally get to homebrew a chance to get in on the action, if only via Twitter.

From the press release:

A Twitter Taste in Your Mouth

Odell Brewing Releases First Twitter Community Brew

On May 30, 2009, Odell Brewing will release the first Twitter community inspired brew.

Followers have until April 19, 2009 to tweet their suggested beer styles for the first Twitter Brew poll. Subsequent polls will be conducted to determine beer qualities like color, strength, body, and hop character. Twittering beer lovers can also tweet ideas for beer names and tap handle designs.

The voting will end on May 8, 2009 and brewer, Jeff Doyle will then brew the Twitter Brew on Odell Brewing's Pilot brewing system. "There are so many people who are interested in brewing but don't really have the means to do it," said Doyle. "The Twitter Brew will give them the chance to get involved with the whole process."

Twitter brewers can try their beer at the brewery's Tap Room during the tapping party on May 30, 2009.

Odell Brewing is a proud sponsor of the Cicerone Certification program and an award winning brewery, nationally and internationally: 2008 North American Beer Awards – gold medal for 5 Barrel Pale Ale. 2008 World Beer Cup® – gold medal for IPA, silver medal for Double Pilsner, silver medal for Cutthroat Porter. 2007 Great American Beer Festival® – gold medal for IPA, silver medal for Easy Street Wheat, bronze medal for Extra Special Red. 2007 Stockholm International Beer Festival – bronze medal for 5 Barrel Pale Ale. 2007 Australian International Beer Awards – silver medal for 90 Shilling, silver medal for Cutthroat Porter, silver medal for Easy Street Wheat and bronze medal for 5 Barrel Pale Ale.

Three tips for Marketing Success

1. Do what you've always done: if it's worked for the last 20 years why wouldn't it work for the next 20? Forget about anything new and innovative and stick to what you know. Belittle all those who claim they have ways of connecting to your customers over "the internets." We all know it's just a series of tubes.

2. Tell your customers to shut up: your customers are always trying to give you feedback, help you improve, and let you know where your opportunities are. Tell them to shut their pie-holes. What good could possibly come from listening to those whiny brats anyways? Just because they have great ideas and tell all their friends about everything you do well (and poorly) doesn't mean they can tell you how to run your business. This is capitalism after all, and if they don't like it they can (and will) shop somewhere else while you build the greatest business on earth doing things exactly the way you want.

3. Don't be too exciting: everyone knows that remarkable is forgettable. I mean, who remembers the last time a business totally amazed them? See, that's what I thought. Stick to the boring and dull. There's nothing sexy about a rotary phone, but it gets the job done and that's what you should model your business after. Slow and steady win the race, after all.




Did you find yourself nodding in agreement with any of these? If so, we need to talk because this is just about the exact opposite of the sort of things you should be doing to grow your business. Happy April Fools.
