Buzzflikr Client CRATE INTERIORS Uses Twitter to Reach Clients

Featured on the cover of this month’s Conde Nast Traveler (”21 Twitterers to Follow”), social media has become the go-to platform for branding building and messaging.

Although lampooned on late-night shows like SNL, social networks like Facebook and Twitter provide instant gratification to a technology obsessed world. Even if it’s just about the mundane minutes of our lives, we crave connection, information and above all entertainment.

And day by day our buzzworthy team observes small businesses, growing brands and corporations jumping into the game. After all it’s a great platform for announcing time-sensitive special offers, exclusive deals, insider scoop and insights from the moguls we most admire.  Our client CRATE INTERIORS uses Twitter and Facebook actively to reach clients in Southern California and resort markets thru Mexico.

But in chat rooms across the net, the debate continues. Is it a valid form of marketing, advertising and PR? Will it survive the present fad? Well, we says yes. Think about it - it’s a real-time conversation reaching directly to phones and desktops all day long. Big business indeed, so get in while it lasts. Twittter is the new crack!

Search engine optimization could very well save the day in this turbulent economy. And according to Sally Falkokw (fellow South African PR guru, prolific speaker and blogger) it’s possibly our greatest PR weapon for helping brands build buzz.
