But why should my biz bother?

Your customers expect you to be there.

Your competition is already there.

It’s where the next influencers are.

Serve your customers better, earn points.

Presence equals trust.

It’s fantastic for SEO.

Bought 4 spendy tires from @discounttire yesterday and no one mentioned that today they would release instant $50 rebate. Where's the love?

@dayn Let me know which store you visited and I'll see what I can do :-)

@DiscountTire I went to store ORP 01 (11462 Pacific Hwy, Tigard). Everyone watching? Social media customer service case study right here.

@dayn Just spoke to the Store Manager, and they'll be calling you soon. Happy Thanksgiving, and thanks for your business!

@DiscountTire will be giving me $50 rebate, even though it wasn't avail yesterday. Thanks to Rex for fielding the call from corporate. ;)

@SWdesignz Americas Tire = @DiscountTire FTW. They did match the online price from tirerack.com. Big props for that

SWDesigns: @dayn You should of went to American's tire co. They beat Costco prices and we have all terrain tires & love them

SWdesigns: @dayn I hope you still go back to @discounttire and ask for the rebate as well. It is only a day difference & they should honor that

SWdesigns: @dayn Oh good, I am glad @DiscountTire provided you with great customer service. FTW

storeistold:@daynThere's a state law, Discount Tire has to give you your $50 back - if the sale is within 30 day
