of control at the corporate level but local initiative and execution should not be strangled

The Connection between Twitter and Billboard

Advertising stunts and ideas   Perfect Sense, Customer Service and Targeted Economy - Feedback: @Digital (2)! It was only a matter of time. Naked Pizza, a uniquely healthy pizza joint in New Orleans, has replaced its call for delivery billboard in favor of something a bit more unorthodox: its Twitter handle. The restaurant now features a large Twitter bird above its storefront, inviting passersby to follow Naked Pizza for special deals. To be honest I was skeptical of the sign at first. And while it’s still a pretty strange sight to behold, it makes perfect sense. With the growing ubiquity of smart phones, free 411 services, and Google Local on the computer, looking up a restaurant’s phone number is trivial. And phone numbers only form a very fleeting bond with the business, anyway. Customer service can evoke some serious misgivings or negative emotions. Although customer support is designed to help the consumer, the pain of waiting for a phone representative and the impersonal emails can cause more damage than good for a brand. People are turned off by the term and companies have begun to use different terminology to describe their efforts. This is not how customer service has to be. With the connectivity made possible by social media, companies have found a new way to engage their customers, solve their problems, and build goodwill for their brands: Twitter. Understanding how Twitter can transform customer relations for the better can be substantial for reducing costs and improving brand image. URL shorteners are services that help take longer URLs (which can be over a hundred characters long) and transform them into manageable links that almost never exceed 20 characters. Their popularity has skyrocketed with the rise of Twitter, which only allows for 140 characters in any message. One of the reasons that bit.ly has received so much attention lately is because of the comprehensive data Bitly provides in the form of live click data, geographic location, the webpage the link where the link was clicked, and more. It shows where customers are coming from, when they are coming, and what interests them. This type of information helps companies develop better products and webmasters produce more targeted content.
