Social Media = Social Currency = Real Currency

For the past few months, we've been creating a buzz through social media. Many may think this is a pointless waste of time, but for Sign Depot, it's given us to get to know others in the community. Here in Kitchener Waterloo Ontario there has been a shift in the last decade or so from being a factory based community to the new technology hub in Canada.

Sign Depot has always been a contributor to networking in KW (members of the Greater Kitchener Waterloo Chamber of Commerce & the Kitchener Waterloo Business Women's Association), but now we're taking it one step further.

Through this blog, & our twitter @TheSignDepot we've made several new local connections & attended local events that we would not have know about otherwise.

One such event was the KW Design Meetup. Thanks to @CuteGecko 's introduction to @Jooliah Sign Depot was invited to their monthly meetup as a presentor.

That night our twitter page lit up.
Take a look
