From freebies to financial advice, a rush for Twitter-exclusive deals has the micro-blogging world all in a flutter.Twitter.com is a social network where users can send 140-character messages or "tweets" to friends, family, and followers. Twitter is being used to communicate about one's day, and to keep up to date with social relationships.
However, the benefits of Twitter don't stop there. The service is also used to find or promote deals, coupons, and savings for consumers.
David Erickson, director of e-strategy for Tunheim Partners in Bloomington says, "When you offer extraordinary value, people will spread it. They'll do the marketing for you. They'll retweet (share the discounts with members of their social network) the deals on Twitter and share the deals on Facebook."
Many local companies use Twitter to connect with the neighborhood and promote their company's deals. To find and follow a business on Twitter, simply log in (or sign up) and search for the company's name. Then click follow. Your Twitter screen will show their updates and promotions from there on out.
