España Breaks now on Facebook, Twitter and Google+
Since we’ve talked plenty about social networks, we decided it’s time to go the whole nine yards and put España Breaks on all the major sites.
Why the delay? Because having seen so many firms go off half cocked and make a lash of it, we didn’t want to jump in until we knew exactly why and how we should use the big social networking sites.
Behind the scenes we’ve cogitated, experimented and planned before making these pages public in order to make them genuinely useful for our customers.
You can connect with España Breaks at:
Only the juicy bits
We believe social networks are about good conversation rather than a sales pitch so we’re keen to make these pages an informal hangout for news and chat with our customers.
We’re updating Twitter in realtime with breaking deals, brickbats, industry news and other developments as they happen. Facebook and Google+ are reserved for the best stuff to save over-filling your timelines. We want to talk and entertain – not bore!
Please come on over and say hello.
Happy renting!
