If you haven’t explored the wonderful world of social media (i.e. Facebook, Twitter and others) or are just using it to keep up with friends, you’re missing out on some great opportunities to get big discounts and even free products and services from your favorite companies. From small privately owned businesses to big corporations, social media has rapidly become the most effective way for businesses to communicate with their clients and customers, increase loyalty, and boost sales in the slumping economy. Probably the most popular are Facebook and Twitter; and both are easy to navigate, even for computer novices.

Just go to facebook.com and twitter.com and register for a free account. The prompts are easy to follow. Once you have an account, enter the names of your favorite businesses in the search box. Select the one you want from the list that appears by clicking on their logo or photo. You will be taken to their profile page. On Facebook, click the “Like” button. On Twitter, click the “Follow” button. Then, every time you sign in to your account, you will see what your chosen businesses have posted. Some companies post every day or even more than once a day; so check on a regular basis so as not to miss out on any great deals that may have a limited response time.
