Although I've expressed my opinion of woot.com's Twitter account, I haven't announced my love for shirt.woot.com yet! As I began following woot.com on Twitter, I became bored of the overly used tweets which only included the sale of the day. I wish someone would hack into their account and put a joke up or at least something that you can feel connected to, like a personal thought or insight. Since I usually fall asleep looking at Woot's twitter page, I decided to go to their website and explore their other woot sites. I've become a huge fan of shirt.woot.com! I love t-shirts and the idea used to create the website is, I believe, genius. Basically, people put up t-shirts with cool graphic designs to sell with a story behind it. For example, for Chinese New Year, shirt.woot.com sold a a t-shirt with lanterns and chinese zodiac signs. Below, there was a poem about the festivities and a story along with it. The designers of the t-shirts write the stories. I think having this extra story behind the shirt is a great way to sell. It makes it more personal. I think woot.com should look at this in a way that would help their Twitter account. It needs to be more personalized, instead of the automatic robot it has become.
Nice post - Woot is pretty cool and it's so hard to believe that its Twitter is so boring. They are a clever company yet seem to be slacking when it comes to social media. Maybe they will find your blog post and see the light!
ReplyDeleteI agree when it comes to robotic twitter accounts. companies need to make sure they do different things to spice it up and keep their followers engaged!
