Greetings!
Do you have Twitter? Does your business?
If you don't, you might want to consider it--it's a great way to stay front and centre in customers' (not to mention Google's) minds. Ask around: there are more than a few examples of regular businesses turning those short messages into dollars.
And you can do it fairly easily: create an account over at twitter.com and write up a quick message. Anything from "We're on Twitter now!" to "10% off your next repair for the first 5 people to reply to us."
Along those lines, I'm offering a limited time Twitter offer! One week only!
If you currently have a Twitter account or are just signing up, include @collisionmag in your next message and we'll push it out on our Twitter feed (one per person--so make it count).
If you're already Twittering, it will add a little extra oomph to your post. And if you're just starting out, it will be a good way to announce your Twitter account to the industry.

body checks. Dennis Carkner, shop owner and hockey dad, couldn't be
more proud. Neither can the local fans.It's game six in the Senators vs Penguins series during the NHL
playoffs. Triple overtime. Fisher rushes down the ice, puck in his
control. He crosses the defence, carries it to Alfredson. With Penguins
closing in he passes it to Carkner. Carkner shoots! Scores! The Sens
win! This goal, believe it or not, has roots planted firmly in collision repair. This story appeared in Collision Repair
magazine 9#3 and contains all
original reporting. If you'd like to get future issues to see more like
