  1. Are you using mobile marketing? Has it worked? Tips? #solopr

  3. Next week is Independence day, what drove you to the freedom of a solo business? #solopr
  4. Many of us heard the viral story of the little girl who was asked to leave KFC because of her scars… KFC just revealed it isn't true- usatoday.com/story/news/nat… -but they're honoring pledge to give $30k to family. Thoughts? #solopr
