And it was from a son's outburst about the failure of the opening of his father's store, in Missouri City, Texas, that something unexpected happened. On Twitter, the young American Billy By made the following publication:
“My dad is sad because no one showed up for his store opening”
In the tweet there were photos of the store, and of the father at the service desk. Soon after publication, people began to be moved by the case. In a few hours the tweet already had more than 500,000 likes.
In addition to the virtual commotion, people actually mobilized and went to Billy's father's store, Billy's Donuts. In the comments of the post, people started tagging and calling friends to the establishment.
The result of this could not be otherwise. The donut shop filled with new customers, lining up to buy the products. After all the success, Billy By made another tweet thanking you for all the support.
“We sold out all the donuts. You are wonderful. I can't thank you enough for stepping in and helping a local business. It means a lot to my family.”, vented.
Lesson
What happened in Texas makes us reflect on the ability of the internet and social networks to disseminate any type of publication. In this case, how did you help a local trader to see his business known and full of customers?
Although many believe that the internet does not influence “real life” in society, its power does have the possibility of moving good deeds in our daily lives.
