Utilizing Social Media for E-commerce
With the explosion in popularity of sites like Twitter
(http://www.twitter.com) and Facebook (http://www.facebook.com), making these
sites work for your e-commerce business can be critical.
These two mediums provide an alternate means for you to reach a
new audience quicky and effectively, as well as the potential
for improving your site’s search engine rankings. Many online
merchants use these networks to announce promotions, offer
special coupons and deals, introduce new products, and to
participate in the industry to give something back to the
community. All of this translates into a broader market reach
and the strengthening of relationships with new and existing
customers.
Here are a two links talking specifically about Twitter:
