PostTea catches eye of Theo Paphitis

PostTea Tea Advent Calendar catches eye of former Dragon’s Den Entrepreneur.

Surrey based firm PostTea is celebrating after receiving a business boost from an entrepreneur who starred on Dragon’s Den. PostTea, a luxury tea gifting service, was retweeted by Theo Paphitis to over nearly 450,000 followers on Monday evening, after being selected as one of his weekly winners of his ‘Small Business Sunday’ campaign, shortened to #SBS.

Kim Villaweaver, founder of PostTea, tweeted Theo about her business during this Sunday’s session [5th October] and is overwhelmed by the surge in interest: “Following our #SBS success, traffic to the PostTea website has increased dramatically, and sales of our seasonal products have soared.

“We’ve gained over one hundred Twitter followers since our win and are excited to get involved in the SBS winner’s community.’

“PostTea’s success with Theo Paphitis comes on the back of an exciting few weeks that has included participation in a #goglobal trade mission to New York with Enterprise Nation.

“As Kim comments, ’there are currently so many great initiatives and opportunities for small businesses to raise their profile, but you really need to work to make the most of everything. Be proud of your business, and ask for every chance to succeed – no-one will do it for you.”

If you’re looking to get involved with Theo’s #SBS campaign should tweet Theo about their business on Sunday evening between 5:00 and 7:30pm, making sure you include the hashtag #SBS and direct your tweet to @TheoPaphitis. Six lucky businesses are retweeted every week and then invited to enter their profile on Theo’s #SBS website.
