Using Twitter to save money

By Jennifer Ng

Twitter and personal finance aren’t usually two things you think that work together well. But now many brands are using Twitter to market their services and deals to customers. Many special discounts and sales can be found by simply going to a brand’s Twitter page. Twitter helps consumers save money by having sales and deals from brand companies posted. It’s effective marketing for the brands and good deals for the consumers by using Twitter. Many well known brands like Dell, Amazon, and Motorola, utilize Twitter to advertise their specials. Twitter can also be used more effectively for customer service if you do not want to use the phone. Comcast and JetBlue answers customer questions in real time that would usually take longer on the phone through Twitter. Twitter works helps both sides by saving businesses money with marketing and providing consumers with deals and specials. Many small businesses are taking advantage of Twitter than larger corporations, for smaller businesses will be more cash strapped. Twitter is usually seen as a time consuming social network but many companies are turning it into an important tool for marketing special deals and sales.
