One good thing about Twitter is following businesses. Not all businesses use twitter well but the following list are of those that I enjoy seeing their tweets or engaging in discussion with.
Fire Mountain Gems one of the best jewelry supply companies on the net. Often their tweets are about sales and videos teaching a technique. They do occasionally interact with their followers but only if that follower says something positive about the company. They are large and have a large following so having a friendly chat about a movie just may be too daunting of a task for them.
GaiasGifts beautiful jewelry inspired by nature. They do tweet about Congenital Heart Defect often in addition to business related tweets. Nice to see a company being passionate about a cause!
FaerieMade – talk about homemade goodness! She makes these wonderful soaps and lip balms. I LOVE the lip balms. She tweets often about her progress on projects, special sales coming up, when she will be selling at the downtown market (she is local in addition to online), and when she is on vacation and shipping has to be delayed.
Little Debbie - I love Little Debbie snacks. I followed them because they were such a big supporter of Type-A-MomCon. They value the role of mom bloggers in the social media world, so yes they must be followed! I enjoy hearing about the contests. I love their polls that they post, I certainly feel like they are taking time to listen to their consumers. And I love the fact that they engage with their followers. It’s refreshing to know that they care.
AC Moore – My favoritest craft store ever! I visit almost on a weekly basis and to have them on Twitter is awesome. They tend to post about classes, coupons, and sales. Even better is they really engage with their market. A twitter pal of mine had a hard time finding something and they stepped up and really tried to help her. Often they just talk to someone, it’s wonderful!
Ok so there they are, my top 5 for this week. I follow quite a few businesses so there will definetly be more in the future. I am sure you noticed I included some large companies, smaller companies will soon follow. I am paying close attention to the date of most recent tweets. Some businesses haven’t tweeted since Dec and I won’t be recommending them as they are sporadic and I have noticed they just haven’t gotten the hang of Twitter just yet. Trust me, I am only going to recommend people that I think deserve the recommendation!
