Excellent idea! It will make finding what we want locally much
easier.

Hi Julia,
You can 'buy' likes, which makes your page look popular and so
more people follow, but I never think it's worth it. At the end
of the day, you want to be speaking to people who might come by
and buy something.
There are loads of online tips from 'marketing experts' on how
to get more likes. Supposedly as long as you keep posting good
quality, relevant content that people will 'share' they should
build naturally, but running competitions, having links to your
profiles across your website etc help too. Giving people an
incentive to like your page is a good way, or why else would
they bother? Competitions etc are a great way to go, but time
consuming. They also say that being personal is the way to go.
Be 'Julia from Make' instead of just MAKE, but I don't do that
as I feel it'll be a different set of followers, and what I want
is people who are interested in my business, not me.
I've found that the facebook inbuilt advertising is pretty good
for increasing likes, and I have had customers coming in as a
result. as they've 'liked' my page from the adverts, then
responded to posts on what I have new in stock and bought them.
With twitter, just posting interesting things and retweeting
builds it up pretty well. If we all retweet each other a bit we
should be able to grow the following between us. Again with
twitter, you can buy followers, but I feel it;s pointless - why
speak to a deaf crowd?
I think Sarah (Room 212) is heading up a bit of a Gloucester
Road marketing team, and with that will get going on the social
media channels already set up for Gloucester Road. If that gets
sorted, it could be used to promote the social media accounts of
all of the traders on Gloucester Road, tweeting about everyone's
events, special offers etc. And Gloucester Road itself has a
good fanbase and is renowned enough to get a good following as
long as it's active enough to be worth following :)
Overall, I think the number of followers you have shouldn't
matter as long as they're good quality followers who might
respond to you and [purchase down the line.
Hope that helps a little bit! Not the most useful answer, but
hopefully it'll help in some way.

There is a list of Twitter users on the gloucesterroadstory.org
site - I'll add the facebook accounts that I know about shortly.
Note however that this site only covers Gloucester Road down to
Zeltand Road - the top end of Cheltenham Road remains to the
todo list

Great - thanks for the correction - sorry the site doesnt get
down to your neck of the woods yet.
