In 2008-2009, Dell, had been able to track just over $6.5 million in sales from promotions run exclusively via the tweet. The $6.5 million is the product of 100 employees tweeting in 35 different channels reaching customers in over 12 countries; Brazil Twitter users have spent over $800,000 in the last eight months. For a company this large and with so much effort behind it, the number sounds less impressive but still⊠Anyone out there taken advantage of a Twitter deal from Dell?

My Starbucks Idea â Starbucksâ own version of a social network where customers are asked to share their ideas on anything related to Starbucks. The site gives users the ability to see what others are suggesting, vote on ideas and check out the results. This site is a brilliant and important aspect of Starbucks social media strategy. Users who are part of this network feel that they have some role in the decision making process of the company and it makes them feel a part of it.
The Fiesta Movement, Fordâs recently six-month social media experiment put a new Fiesta car in the hands of 100 âagentsâ (members of the public) to drive and review using Twitter, Flickr, YouTube, and blogs. Fiesta Movement was a huge success. The 700 videos produced by the agents have generated 6.5 million views on YouTube, and there have been more than 3.4 million impressions of Fiesta Movement on Twitter. Even photos taken by the agents have been viewed more than 670,000 times. When it comes to word-of-mouth marketing, those are serious numbers.
As Scott Monty, Fordâs head of social media said while creating buzz from Fiesta Movement was certainly important (more than 50,000 U.S. consumers who interacted with the movement said they wanted more information about the vehicle, and 97 percent of those do not own Ford vehicles), equally important was the customer feedback on design and engineering issues that the Fiesta agents have delivered. This was particularly important given that Ford was introducing this version of the Fiestaâa European carâinto the U.S. market for the first time.
