You have seen many posts telling you “Why Your Business Needs Social Media” but let me take this opportunity to tell you why Social Media needs your business and how you can help.
- How many of you have created leads for your business using Twitter/Facebook and other social pages?
- How many clients have you created a personal relationship with because of your interaction with them on various social media sites?
- How many times have you thanked social media for giving you the most up-to-date information about your competitors and helped you step up your own act?
- How many compliments have you got from your clients for always being online and available for them, because of social media?
If you have answered yes to at least one of the questions above- Have you thought of how you can pay-back?
Social media is free and available to all but it’s all a give and take. You cannot expect to keep receiving from it if you don’t initiate a “giving” from your end too.
Twestival (or Twitter festival) Melbourne 2011 is your chance to give back to the community. The Twestival is a great night to network with like-minded social media advocates over some drinks and bid for some cool goodies in a public and silent auction. This is your chance to let the community know that your business is social-media savvy and ready to go an extra length for the community.
This year Melbourne Twestival is raising money for STREAT, an Australian social enterprise providing homeless youth with a supported pathway to long-term careers in the hospitality industry. STREAT runs street cafes in Melbourne where youth get their hospitality training. The food is inspired by street hawker food from around the world. More information about them here
By being part of the Melbourne Twestival you can make a real difference to the lives and livelihood of someone currently living on the street.
The Twestival organized for Melbourne will be held at the STREAT offices on Thursday evening 6-9pm on March 24. We encourage you and/your business to be a part of the Melbourne twitter community and raise awareness and worthy funds for this project. Get your tickets here
Think of all the support and connections you have in the Twitter community, now is the time to reach out to your local community and give them some support
To find out how your business can be a part of this great initiative and to keep updated with the latest news before the 24th March, tweet us on Twitter @TwestivalMel or join us on facebook here

Most of you might already know that I am organising the Twestival Local in Melbourne, this year. I am honored and happy to be a part of such a great initiative and working with an awesome team!
Twestival® (or Twitter Festival) uses social media for social good by connecting communities offline on a single day to highlight a great cause and have a fun event. Twestival is the largest global grassroots social media fundraising initiative to date. Since 2009, volunteers have raised close to $1.2 million for 137 nonprofits. All local events are organized 100% by volunteers and 100% of all ticket sales and donations go direct to projects.
Twestival was born out of the idea that if cities were able to collaborate on an international scale, but work from a local level, it could have a spectacular impact. Please see www.twestival.com for more information.
On the same day and at the same time, over Over 200 international cities from Buenos Aires to Bangalore, Seattle to Seoul and Hong Kong to Honolulu come together to raise funds for a local charity that they choose. These events are all live streamed and available on the internet for the world to watch. Considering the time zone, Australia will be one of the first countries to start the event at 6 pm on 24th March 2011. You can see all details about the event, charity and team behind it on the official blog www.melbourne.twestival.com
The chosen charity beneficiary for this year’s Twestival Melbourne is STREAT MELBOURNE. STREAT does a great job of providing social support with industry training and employment opportunities to young homeless people in their street cafes. They offer customers delicious and cost‐effective meals celebrating the unique tastes and styles of street cultures world-wide. You can see more information about them on their awesome website- www.streat.com.au
Tickets are being sold from $25 upwards. With just a 100 tickets available, you can expect them to get sold out pretty quickly. So, get your ticket now!
All proceeds from the sales of these tickets will go to STREAT directly. There will also be a fund raising auction of awesome items that Melbourne based businesses have kindly offered to the cause.
This is your chance to meet the top twitter people in Melbourne, while supporting a great local charity. Be there! Tweet, meet, give :)
