Customer Service, Social Media
This week, our team that runs the support handle on Twitter for customer service reached a milestone -250,000 followers! The team started tweeting in August 2009, so that is quite an accomplishment. While “followers” is more of a vanity metric (hey, look how cool I am), as a brand it does tend to give you bragging rights internally [...]
