Coventry based business RJ PAT Testing gets a Twitter boost from Theo Paphitis.
A Coventry based firm has received a business boost from Retail Entrepreneur Theo Paphitis. Last week, Ryan Alcock owner of RJ PAT Testing tweeted Theo about hisbusiness during ‘Small Business Sunday’ and was one of six weekly winners to gain a retweet or repost by Theo to his over half a million Twitter and Instagram followers. The weekly initiative, set up by Theo in 2010, now has over 3,500 #SBS winners and supports small businesses in the UK.
Business and retail entrepreneur and self-confessed Shopkeeper, Theo re‐tweeted Ryan Alcock’s message to his over 500,000 Twitter and Instagram followers and as a result, RJ PAT Testing has hundreds of more followers and extra bookings for their services.They are also profiled on the #SBS website (www.theopaphitissbs.com) that is exclusive to all Small Business Sunday winners.
Ryan Alcock said “We’re just a small family run business and It is great to have support from Theo because it’s been tough trying to raise our profile and Theo has recognised our hard work and helped spread the word about what we do to his following. We have plans to expand the business further by offering other services like Fire Extinguisher servicing/Inspection and Emergency Lighting testing.”
Small business champion and Ryman Stationery, Robert Dyas and Boux Avenue Chairman, Theo Paphitis, said: “We are thrilled to welcome new #SBS members every week and highlight just how important it is to support our small businesses here in the UK. My vision is that everyone who has ever won an #SBS re-tweet from me becomes part of a friendly club; like-minded individuals who can share successes and learnings. The website will also give a valuable profile to the winners chosen and I wish RJ PAT Testing every success.”
Anyone looking for a re‐tweet from Theo should tweet on Twitter or do an Instagram post to him about their business on Sunday between 5 PM and 7.30 PM and include the hashtag #SBS. Six lucky businesses are re‐tweeted every Monday at 8 PM and then invited to enter their profile on the new website, attend the annual #SBS networking event and take advantage of the networking opportunities.
