Wondering which handles to follow on Twitter this weekend? Whether you’re thinking of launching a start-up, or you’re looking to take your business to the next level, Nigerian Twitter is choc-full of sound counsel and resources. For tips on how to build your business and position your brand, the following handles are recommended: 1. @VeniaBizHub Bio: Business Hub | Serviced & Virtual Offices | Launch Pad | Business Restructuring & Advisory | Seed Capital | Technology.

There is more to starting up a #business than the interest in the line of business and funding. Do you know that?
Location, Location, Location : Before you root yourself in one area, make sure it’s the right place for your #business.
Always include a phone number, an email address or a website address where interested individuals can get more information. #Advertising.
It may be tempting at the beginning when you are low on funds to allow people to buy portions of your company right away.
Be Careful About Sharing Ownership

In partnership or investment in a new venture, look well to the character of the person you’re jumping into bed with. #BizNG
You need people to grow your company not money and money doesn’t always buy the right people. #BizNG
In #Nigeria, where bad service is commonplace, competition is needed. See how #ChickenRepublic has stepped up in response to #KFC.
Build redundancy in your business because employees have lives. Emergencies will happen and family comes first!
There’s a reason NETWORKING is a top skill in Nigerian business. You can’t thrive outside of the culture or context of your company.

Branding is just another name for creating a perception. Branding isn’t your company name. It’s not a logo #OjaySaysBrand.
A brand is a promise. It’s an expectation of an experience #OjaySaysBrand.
The company and tag line and logo and brand colours only exist to call that experience to mind #OjaySaysBrand.
Brands can meet that expectation, exceed that expectation or in the worst cases, fall short of that expectation #OjaySaysBrand.
The Red Cross is a bellwether among nonprofits, with a brand that literally means help is on the way in times of crisis #OjaySaysBrand.
