As I was walking through the show I was wondering how some of these small beanie/hat companies think there's room in the market for them. There were too many beanie companies at the show.

You certainly leveraged social media in an interesting way and provided us all a unique look into OR this year. It's exciting to think of where it will go from here!

I signed up for Twitter specifically to use it for the show and intend to keep it around both to build industry contacts and as a tool for my readers. While I'm not on the retail side of the OR industry, I think there are ways to use social media to build a brand. I've seen social media help my website grow and look at it as a long-term investment.
