Businesses often ask us how to effectively use social media to promote themselves. So much depends on the business but I want to illustrate one effective use that came to my attention today.
Yesterday, a Twitter friend asked if anyone knew where to get mass-produced souvenir key chains he could brand with his logo that had a 24-hour turnaround time. A quick Google search later and I had found a company who offered such a service so I sent him a message on Twitter with the companies URL.
Today, while in the midst of many other things, I received a reply message from who else? The company I had recommended.
They obviously monitor Twitter for mentions of their url, brand and direct messages about them and respond as appropriate. Their response to me was a surprise, but it made an impression and I’m sure I’ll remember them in the future if I need swag to advertise an awesome new website (or other business venture).
there are many good uses of social media in business… unfortunately, not many are bringing these to the attention of non-social meida users… it is almost like a social media user saying why cannot you get it, it's so clear… byut sometimes people just need a little extra, special care…
