“Entrepreneurs can learn from yet another innovative business idea for leveraging the social media power of Twitter as a powerful business tool.”
Best Buy’s has decided to start using the power of Twitter to connect employee’s with downtime to use what is turning out to be Twitter’s serious social media power with the intent to bring more customers in the doors, and actually have the sales closed b
efore the customer even walks through the door.
I just checked and the Twelpforce following is up to 1,594 followers, and so now I can see it happening that instead of asking a question to a warm body in the brick and mortar store, a follower of Twelpforce tweeting the question to the Twelpforce and leveraging the answer to get the best deal in store, so eventually everyone will be moving around in the stores tweeting the Twelpforce and each other, similar to the texting phenomena of texting conversations occurring instead of verbal conversations.
