Flight Savor Fare

I love Twitter. You can form groups, speak directly to an individual or to an audience, search for keywords and track. Facebook, I find cluttered and difficult and sometimes juvenile, but of the two, Facebook will most likely be the vehicle that reaches my people in the near future. Middle-aged women are the fastest growing segment on Facebook (see the college students fleeing! But to where? Ah, there is the big question.) Twitter is more like the new word-of-mouth. In Media 101, we learned you had to tell people everything three times, in three different ways, before they would get the message. Different ways back then meant visual, auditory, tactile. Now it seems to mean Twitter, Facebook and print. There are other social media clients out there, but in terms of sheer numbers of users, cannot compare to these giants.

The future of social media is blurry. Twitter has said they have no interest in taking ads nor are they interested in selling the company, apparently, having refused Google’s overtures among others, so how will they make money from their very popular vehicle for communicating?

For Flight, it’s an effective way to talk about our specials of the day, reach people in Asheville who may never have heard of Flight Wood Grill in Hendersonville, and a fun way to stay in touch with regulars. It doesn’t seem as intrusive as constant emails and offers an easy quick way for customers to respond.

If you twitter, follow us @flightgrill and @nancykhayes. On Facebook, become a fan of Flight Wood Grill and Wine Bar. You’ll find some special invitations and fun promotions offered from time to time!
