Example of Business Social Media done right (@Fiatontheweb)
Ritch Brandon, the founder of BrandON! marketing.technology, is a huge car nut. So much so…he has a specialized personal Twitter account (@RitchOnCars) devoted to all things automotive — design, reviews, the latest rumors and news from the industry, and pictures of great cars motoring around Atlanta (or where ever he may be at the moment).
Yesterday, @RitchOnCars tweeted about the new Fiat 500 that is coming to North America soon. The car is a popular model in Europe that is following in the footsteps of the much loved MINI Cooper in bringing its success to the U.S. Yesterday, a convertible version of the Fiat 500C was featured at the NY Auto Show (which Ritch has attended in the past = car nut!) In response to articles covering the car, Ritch ventured over to the Fiat USA, which honestly is a little lacking in information and, at the time, did not include the convertible as an option…but they do have a “Build Your Own” feature. As of this morning, they have added the convertible to the line up.
Any way… Fiat (@Fiatontheweb)very quickly responded to the tweet, suggesting that Ritch check out their Facebook page which had more information about the 500C convertible. By doing so, Fiat was able to build a small relationship with a potential customer (Ritch has owned a MINI convertible in the past) and deepen the social media presence of the firm. Plus, we’re now writing a blog post about their response on Twitter. All in all, a big pay off for a quick tweet from their Social Media Community Manager.
The conversation follows. If you haven’t seen the Fiat 500 or 500C, check them out. Italian design and 38 MPH for $20k. Not bad!
