An outlandish title you may think, may an impossible dream but I beg to differ as it’s already been done.
You see everyone is scrabbling around to find ‘that’ business model for Twitter and you know what their isnt one, so if you want to create a landscape for your business you best get on with it. One company that has brilliantly is [tag]Dell [/tag], they recently announced they had received sales of more than $3 million through their [tag]Twitter alerts[/tag], this surely must make it one of THE most succesful accounts their is.
Dell offers discounts to people who sign up through Dell Outlet they converse in realtime with customers AND through in links to very special deals that lead you onto the main Dell website to buy.
No big secret in any of this, just they are using Twitter in a business model that suits them and using it to make alot of revenue for them.
If you sign up you are almost a member of an email marketing club, but of course anyone can join and therein lies the secret, its exclusive to everyone.
Twitter also has had a major impact on ‘citizen journalism’, this is where members of the public use the site to break major news stories or updates such as the terror attacks in Mumbai or the recent protests in Iran.
