3 Examples of Businesses Using Social Media

Ryan Xavier - May 5, 2015

1.
Hyrdro Flask easily increases their name following by using such social-media platforms as FaceBook. They consistently post deals and promo codes to receive discounts on their products. The are a Bend, Oregon based company, and with that spirit do some pretty cool things. One of which being that you can send them cool photos of you and your Hydro Flask out in nature or whatever intriguing thing you have gotten you and your beloved flask into. If they think its cool enough, they will re-post the picture to their page and usually contact you with a free merchandise offer. Overall one of the cooler companies I follow on FaceBook.


2.
Celestron Telescopes is another company that has harnessed the power of social-media. Orion has about 5,500 followers on twitter. They much like Hyrdro Flask, offer all kinds off cool deals and promo codes as well. They also post web-flyers for events in surrounding areas for you to potentially attend. At these events they get to showcase their hardware and educate people on Telescopes as well as provide a pros view into the cosmos above. Even if you somehow werent into the stars, following Celestron on twitter still holds value. They are an optics company and are constantly posting amazing photos of everything.

3.
Apple (Mac)also as you may believe uses social media to reach its prospects. I find it humorously ironic to follow Apple on Google+, but honestly its one of the better UI layouts for Apple among the other social networking platforms. Google+ lets you join communities (follow) people and businesses alike. I like what Apple has done with they layout of their page and the easy naviagation. They have their main community subdivided into several other communities such as Mac, iOS, OSx, etc. I follow the Mac and OSx communities because I don't believe in any other Apple products! Its really cool though, they are always posting new accessories and and information about upcoming device/software releases. They also post relevant photos and videos . Overall their Google+ account has proved a pretty cool resource to have.
