Help Save Top Notch Barbeque #Foodtruck

Eleanor Prior — Fri, 02 Sep 2011 17:08:20 +0000

I am short on time and need to get this out! So I am going to cut to the chase, We need to step in Vegas and lend a hand to @TopNotchBBQ.

Long story short, the owner of the trailer that they where leasing to own has filed for bankruptcy, the trailer has to be sold. No ifs, ands, or buts! James and Val have to turn it on on Sunday 9/5. This is not due to any fault on their part, they are victims of circumstance.

They have done some research and with the help of the Vegas Foodtruck Community I know you won’t let us loose this Bombilicious Truck! I have 9,000 followers on twitter not to mention the followers of the other foodtrucks. We need $10,000 for them to put down on a truck and they can keep on Smokin’ in the Desert! $1 a follower on Twitter that’s all I’m asking. We are using Chipin.com here is the link: http://topnotchbbq.chipin.com/topnotchbarbeque

I could go into all the awards and good deeds that they have done! We wouldn’t of had #4sqdayvegas without their hookup with Plant World and the food drive for @Threesquarelv. But like I said I don’t have the time and neither do they!

This is me begging! I had to talk James into this, so Please help out my #Foodtruck Fam, I could not bear to loose any one of the trucks that have become dear to my tastebuds and my heart!

Tweet! http://topnotchbbq.chipin.com/topnotchbarbeque in the words of Optomus Prime! improv’d “Foodtrucks Let’s Roll” Let’s prove to #Vegas and communities elsewhere that have #Foodtruck Families that You are here to stay! Get those tweeting fingers going!

Foursquare Day #4SQDayVegas Guest Blog Post on 4SQDay.com

Eleanor Prior — Mon, 11 Apr 2011 17:43:23 +0000

We’ve been working with Eleanor Prior (AKA @TheLVTweetUP) for some time about her AMAZING idea for a 4sqday event. As you can tell she is passionate about food, passionate about Las Vegas, and passionate about social media, so we thought it would be best if she told the story in her own words. Makes us wish we were going to be in Las Vegas on April 16th!!

(Also, want to share what fantastic thing your community is doing? Email your story to Nate@4sqday.com. Thanks!)

This year The Las Vegas Tweetup wanted to focus on helping small business via Tweetups. Being that I love to eat, and the Foodtrucks being the new phenomena to hit the streets here in Vegas it just made perfect sense to team up with them for Foursquare Day! We are celebrating #4sqday with the Foodtrucks here in Las Vegas at Plant World Nursery, our generous host! Finish Reading on 4SQDAY’s Blog

A Bright Light City Diaper Drive

Eleanor Prior — Thu, 20 Jan 2011 06:05:57 +0000

This year I wanted The Las Vegas Tweetup to be a little more community minded and raise awareness about the fabulous small businesses and non profits we have in our valley. So I was thrilled when Christopher Palmeri of @nakedcitylv who Jolene Mannina of @sloppijos gave him my info and he contacted me! I love it when business owners get that Twitter is a force to be reckoned with.

A couple of years ago I met Monique Harris of @Children1stNV (she’s still adjusting to “The Twitter” couldn’t resist the Betty White) and when was enlightened to what @Children1stNV does as a mother who has 4 girls (don’t gasp you guys know we have 5 kids between us aka blended) I started thinking what if, what if one of my girls found themselves in this position (not that I haven’t tried to install the fear of me in them like my Mom did to me, feisty little mexican, or teach them right from wrong aka abstinence) where would they turn?

Did you know that on any given day there are over 300 unaccompanied homeless youth, in Clark County alone. Let your mind do the wandering . . .

In this video of Monique Harris from Southern Nevada Children First being interviewed by Mary Marriott of @JustAskMary and @TheAttitudeofMoney on their “Grattitude Attitude” you will learn about these children with children. No one can paint the picture like Monique, if your a parent like me you’ll see why this tweetup is a must attend event!

Are you wondering how can you help? By bringing any of the following to the tweetup:

Diapers sizes 3 and 5
Bus passes
Gift Cards (Walmart preferrably since you can get everything baby there, any amount.)

Can’t make it, no worries Christopher has set up a drop at Naked City Pizza located in Moon Doggies! Or Contact Southern Nevada Children First directly.

Bright Light City Is Gonna Set This Tweetup On Fire!

On January 12, 2011 you will have the opportunity to attend Social Media Marketing Las Vegas and receive social media marketing tips, tools and techniques.

I had the chance to talk with Eric Peterson and David Koloski this morning, thank you guys for taking time to talk this morning. They are two of Las Vegas’s active Social Media Marketing participants and will be featured speakers at #SMLasVegas. One thing David mentioned that I agree with whole heartedly is: “No one is a social media expert!” Social Media Marketing is an insatiable little beast and requires it’s participants to continually educate themselves.

Eric and David shared valuable tips, insights, and a few of their secrets to successfully using social media marketing at 10 properties here in Las Vegas. Yes I did say 10, they manage 10 properties meaning 10 Twitter profiles, 10 Facebook Pages, I thought my head was spinning just managing my two identities @VAGirlFriday and @TheLVTweetup.

Social Media Marketing Las Vegas is a one-day event that will be held at the Flamingo Hotel. It’s not everyday that you can be schooled by a team of renowned marketing experts who will provide guidance on how to effectively engage with customers via social media. They will give tips on how to maximize the impact of your campaigns and offer insights into new services to try and trends to watch out for.

Just to wet your appetite here is a peak at the topics:

Social Media for the Hospitality and Gaming Industry
How NOT to Go Viral
B2B Social Media Marketing That Works Today
Stream Marketing and Content Automation – Drive Actions Drive Results
What about us? … Social Media Marketing for the Little Guys
Developing and monetizing forums and communities
Social Email Targeting for the Generations
Reputation Management using Social Media
