Twitter, the online social media sensation that only allows users to post, or "tweet" as it's called, a mere 140 characters at a time, has taken the global online world by storm. Users may join the site by creating a free account, choosing a user name and password and are then able to follow others and begin "tweeting" themselves about anything and everything.
And now that Twitter has been around for a few years and continues to grow in popularity by leaps and bounds, many merchants and retailers are taking advantage of the frequently visited website for advertising purposes, attracting new customers and announcing important information like sales or discounts.
For the Christmas season or any special occasion or holiday, using Twitter can help you to find unadvertised sales and bargains that you won't be able to find anywhere else. And it's now estimated that approximately half of all major retailers around the world have a Twitter account. In the UK, retailers such as Asda, Asos, Debenhams, Dixons, Smythson, Wallace Sacks, Waterstones and Woolworth all have Twitter accounts that are updated regularly and even grocers like Ocado are tweeting about their wares.
Many High street stores are also tweeting about exclusive offers and special discounts to lure customers in to their establishments or to buy directly from their website online. Some stores tweet about bargain deals of the day while others advertise their weekly sales.
Members can look for their favorite store or merchant to see if they have an account and click the follow button. Followers of stores and merchants on Twitter will then see tweets from companies announcing specials, some of which only last for a brief period of time. And because Twitter operates in "real time" you will know instantly when a sale begins or ends.
Instead of simply waiting for the deals and bargains to come your way you can also use Twitter to search for specific things rather than just sales.
On Twitter's Advanced Search page you can enter whatever information you're looking for, such as a certain designer or brand of clothing or perhaps the latest technological gadget that's on sale. Simply enter what you're trying to find under the "this exact phrase" box and the word "sale" in the "any of these words" box and click the search button.
Be creative with your searches using words like "discount," "sale," "free," "promotion" and be prepared to spend plenty of time looking through your results. Remember you can look for the most obscure items to those that are expected to be so popular that they will be difficult to find near the Christmas season. You can also look for electronic coupon codes or voucher codes to redeem for discounts such as a certain percentage off your order or free shipping.
In addition to the stores themselves, there are many helpful "Tweeple" to follow on Twitter who will do all of the "legwork" for you, scouring the Internet looking for the absolute best deals and cheapest prices and then tweeting about their findings.
