They say “imitation” is the sincerest form of flattery – in which case, we would love to thank our friends over at HootSuite.
Back in April, we came out of closed beta and opened up our platform to 1,000 users in an open beta. To celebrate this jump in status, we created a video in-house that shared an example of one of our users, the Bandit Coffee Group in Toronto.
The video showed how owner Kirk used Jugnoo to be effective on social media – connecting with customers and promoting offers – while still doing all their day-to-day business. Here’s the video below.
Simple. Fun. Clear.
Yesterday, social media dashboard folks HootSuite released a video that “…illustrates just how simple and useful social media can be.”
It uses an example of a bread and coffee place and how the owner connects with customers and promotes offers. Here’s the HootSuite video below:
It’s also simple. Fun. Clear. And the tune is jaunty!
So we’d just like to say thanks, HootSuite – great job and we appreciate the homage! 
In fact, we were so enamoured by the video, we sent these cupcakes to Hootsuite’s Vancouver offices – hope you enjoyed, guys!
I’d really like to extend another huge congrats to my colleagues, Tabitha and Fawad, who worked diligently to bring our awesome Bandit Coffee video to life – you guys did a phenomenal job showing exactly how JugnooMe can help small businesses. Rock on!! Looks like our customers aren’t the only ones who noticed.
@JulieTyios @fawadm @tabithaaquino awesome video talent! You guys created something of value
As a bit of a “word freak/lover” (tickety-boo, bugbear, schadenfreude – all words I’ve used in recent blog posts) – I would like to say that “homage” is right up there near the top as one of my all times favourites. It just feels so sensual, the way it rolls off the tongue. *Homage* – just love it.
That’s great! Two amazing vids… definitely some great messaging.
@MikeConnell Agreed, mate – and nice to see our in-house team is on par with a professional media company production!
@DannyBrown @MikeConnell +1 – we are a seriously awesome team. Go go Team JugnooMe!!
@DannyBrown @JulieTyios my biggest issue with both of these? Now I’m frickin’ craving coffee, paninis and cupcakes and it’s only 11:30 am
@MikeConnell @JulieTyios HA! Now that’s a job well done on both accounts!
@MikeConnell @JulieTyios If you’re nearby, though, the Coffee Bandit guys make great coffee and paninis all round!
@MikeConnell @DannyBrown - Happy to provide! Email me your office address and we’ll get those delivered for you right away.
Catch me at: julie@jugnoo.com. What are you panini and cupcake preferences? How do you take your coffee? Cheers, Mike!
@JulieTyios omg. too nice. An offer I can’t take advantage of right now, but it’s very much appreciated all the same! I’ll connect offline to explain
@MikeConnell @JulieTyios Well, the offer is open, sir, so just let us know when and where!
You would at least think that they would choose like a bank or maybe a hot dog stand vs a flipping coffee shop. Do they have no shame? Submitting to http://www.joelapompe.net/
@HowieSPM The alien is in the house!
Wow. Just wow. I’m with Howie. They could have at least chosen a different venue.
@ginidietrich Gin & Topics!!
@DannyBrown Some lead, others follow. That said, I’d expect better from Hootsuite.
@JimConnolly As long as the cupcakes were enjoyed.
