Just as social media has become an inescapable part of our digital lives, it has also increasingly become a tool we use to shop online. As consumers, we discover new brands, products, and services from our social feeds, and gauge their popularity based on their social media presence.
Brands and retailers, on the other hand, use social media as a means to spread the digital word about products and services, as well as company-specific deals, discounts, and promotions. If you're not already looking to social media when you shop, you're missing out. Coupons have gone digital, and some of the best deals out there take place on social media networks.
Brands and retailers want followers to build a social community around what they sell, and develop a digital rapport with consumers. As part of this process, brands and retailers regularly reward those who engage with them on social media by leaking the best deals and discounts to followers, and offering contest and promotions specific to social media.
But which accounts deserve your follow? Check out some of the feeds you should add to your follower list.
