Social Media (2)

Social Media plays a key role for many companies today.  They can use different websites like Facebook and Twitter to advertise their different products, or even to just get their name out there.  Many companies have their own Twitter page, where they post discounts/deals if you "follow" them.  I think this is a good thing because you have he potential to save money just by following a specific company.  This also gives the company the ability to get advertising and discounts out much quicker because they used to have to mail a catalog to your house and wait for them to mail back what they wanted to order.  When a company has a social media page it makes everything much easier and quicker for both the consumer and company.

  1. The catalog example you mentioned I thought was spot on. Everything in today's world is so much easier because of social media and it is making everything easier for company's and consumers.

  2. I couldn't agree more with both you and Trevor. Social media sites make it easier for consumers to keep up with their chosen company and also for companies to keep up with what the consumer wants.

  3. A big thing on twitter I notice is that companies products are mentioned on twitter by one of my friends then a bunch of my friends start mentioning it until finally I will get the product so I can know what everyone has been talking about. i just wanted to point out how interesting it was even though it wasn't official advertisement it was just as effective at convincing some one to purchase a product
