		<description>Hi everyone,

Thanks for having us at PuddleDucks as a case study at the workshop and all the great ideas you have provided. 

Among my favourites and ones we will definitely try are name the duck competition (brilliant idea – thinking of using a Wildfire promotion to do this), linking somehow with the weather forecast (maybe a Facebook app.?), Tubemogul (must check that out), camping/caravan parks (that would have been good this year!) and  competitions for kids. 

RollerCoaster.ie is a good suggestion – we already advertise and run competitions there.

Regarding testimonials – we have replaced them recently with the LouderVoice.com reviews which are really working well for us. 

I’d also be interested in hearing about Bebo – I would have thought that the demographic was too young for us. Facebook is working really well at the moment with the ads and fan page and with a perfect demographic. 

As with a lot of social media – as always, it is a matter of time. I would love to spend more time on social media but we can’t forget that we also have a day job of running the business and providing great customer service!

Thanks again to everyone for your contributions and to Fred for inviting us to be put before the spotlight.
