Transformation is the theme of this edition of the popular healing arts festival that will be held in San Pedro on the weekend of December 6 and 7. The Arte Sano festivals have been running for 8 years now, offering a chance for people to experience different ways of living, and transforming their lives through healthier eating, holistic disciplines like Yoga, meditation and personal development. The Arte Sano festivals are weekend events that are packed with activities for people interested in trying something new – classes and workshops give people the chance to try practical activities, while talks and conferences can introduce new and innovative ideas. The eco-holistic market has all kinds of natural and organic products as well as original artisan gifts, ideal with Christmas just round the corner. “San Pedro’s municipal ‘Carpa’ provides an excellent venue for this event,” explains Monica Bereuther, co-organiser of the event. “It is very easy to find in the town’s feria ground and has enough space for the diverse market as well as all the activities. As a complement to our summer edition on the Paseo Maritimo, it serves to bring our message of natural living to a wider audience.”

The last time I looked at the topic of Twitter was back in 2010 when I gave an overview of how to use Twitter as a marketing method for your business. Four years on, I wanted to take another look at Twitter and how things have progressed over this time, looking at the possibilities of Twitter ads and promoted accounts which allow you to generate more followers or get more exposure for a particular tweet.
Twitter themselves offer some great help and advice I suggest you start with the Twitter Help Centre which is a mine of information – https://support.twitter.com/ Then they have their own Twitter accounts such as this one https://twitter.com/TwitterUKI_SME which offers advice for small companies in the UK and runs webinars and creates glossaries which we can apply to business here in Spain. There’s also the general one out of the US which includes all the updates as well as top tips https://twitter.com/twitter
I recently did a webinar with the Twitter team in the UK to refresh my knowledge of this great marketing tool (things change so quickly so you need to keep up to speed) and they shared some really interesting facts related to doing business on Twitter – very different to sharing what you had for dinner!
