New social marketing platform for Australian backpacking industry

Hi all, we have just launched the social network on Footprintsdownunder.com.au -

How does it work?

It is a social network platform that works similar to Facebook

Who is it for?

Although any backpacker is free to join, we really have made it available for the Australian independent backpacking industry.

You are free to join and promote your hostel, tour operations, use the events manager to promote events and happenings.

As time goes on we will add more functionality and resources to help promote the Australian independent backpacking industry.

Join here http://www.footprintsdownunder.com.au/your-footprints

Then set up the Twitter application under the 'tab' 'applications' then join either the Independent Hostels group, or the Independent Tour Operators group, or You should be in a campervan group

You can create more groups as needed, make a habit of listing current promotions, and specials

Use the platform to your advantage, the active companies that keep it updated will always gain the most exposure
