Is Social Media Taking Over the High Street Retailers?

In this day an age is has become very apparent that Social Media is leading the way forward with exciting deals and promotions. I was watching a programme that featured the London High Street and how they used Social media to offer exclusive deals and offers to their exclusive customers.

In one famous High Street retailer, they used “Twitter” to offer and promote 5 articles or clothing at a reduced rate when showing the Twitter message at the check out. I was amazed to see just how many ladies ambushed the shop knowing that they were getting a deal.

Has Social Media become one of the ways forward to get a bargain? And it wasn’t just the high Street retailers doing this. Restaurants, gaming stores, boutique and flower shops were also using this simple method to promote and offer discounts.

Working in the Cruise industry will see Social Media boom and to be honest I am sure that the majority of retailers customers are using Social Media to their advantage! In the last 6 months I have seen just how important it is to have Social Media for my customers to follow.
