7 businesses to "LIKE"


The decisions a business owner must make normally include the hiring process, the making of their product/service and interactions with their customers.  In the fast growing digital world and digital marketplace, now those same business owners must learn to navigate social media.    Since I am promoting a friend’s business, I had to understand that her company is not just about tea.   She takes extreme pleasure in making all her delicious desserts and pastries and knowing the pleasure the recipient will have.   While looking thru her website, I asked her to tell me more & heard her passionately talk about the food, the tea and the gatherings.     In choosing what I was going to “LIKE” for her business, I decided to her ask about her suppliers and training and her favorite places for tea parties.   The initial seven that I choose reflect the businesses that have meaning to her.

* Verona Chocolatier - the best chocolate she uses in all her desserts   http://www.verona.ae

* Bigelow Tea – one of the many choices of teas she uses.    http://www.bigelowtea.com

* Tevana – loose leaf teas from all over the world    http://www.teavana.com  

* The Royal Tea Club – another FB page dedicated to lovers of tea and tea parties.  http://www.theroyal-teaclub.org

* Set to a Tea - consultants who specialize in tea parties   http://www.settoatea.com/members/settoatea

* Victoria /Fairmont Empress Hotel – one of the favorite places to have afternoon tea.   http://www.fairmont.com/empress-victoria/

* Harney & Sons – tea supplies and customized designed tea flavors.  https://www.harney.com/

In my opinion, a company should “like” companies that they deal with or have business with. It can also be other companies that do similar business.   For example – one of the pages that I “liked” was the Fairmont Empress Hotel. The hotel is known worldwide for its afternoon tea since 1908.   They might do the same thing as Tea Around the World, but they are not in direct competition.   Maybe a “Like” can also be showcasing someone else’s blog or event.

And I continue the exploration of social media…….
