Tweet your requirements into Cyber Space

There are a number of customers looking for warehouse space and services. Traditional way to do that is to either look up warehouses online or find a broker. Looking up online or through a webiste means sending out RFI (request for information) to many warehouses via email and then waiting for a response.

Twitter provides an alternative. That is right, the days of sending an email out so that the service providers can respond to your RFI (request for information) are fast coming to an end. One good use Twitter can be put to, is to broadcast your message onto a group of subscribers. Most important aspect to consider is that Twitter can actually put your message on the cell phones of the subscribers.

Consider this for example, your customer is looking for warehouse space in Michigan. All, she has to do for that is to go to our website (http://www.spacespecials.com/) and type in something like "Looking for 6000 sq feet of warehouse space in Michigan. Call me at 867 5309 Jenny (sound's familiar :))." All the warehouses who are subscribed to our Twitter group will then receive this message via the Twitter network on their cell phones.

Now this is what Twitter is all about. Enabling communication between the broadcaster and a host of subscriber. Twitter enables us to subscribe to a group of our choice and get important notifications on your cell phone. The key to all this is to subscribe to channels that will provide relevant and important information. There are a lot of Twitter channels where people simply type something for the sake of typing something. This adds to the clutter and defeats the purpose.

The other important thing to consider is that by keeping your twitter account strictly for business eliminates all that unnecessary noise and clutter which keeps you from seeing the important messages or tweets. I encourage you to subscribe to groups that are protected, which means that you need permission from the group owner before you can join them. The group owner ensures that you are from the industry and therefore eliminates unnecessary noise.

SpaceSpecials.com has created a new Twitter group strictly for this purpose. Go to http://twitter.com/WarehouseWanted to subscribe to the notifications. This has been created to pass on enquiries from actual customers looking for warehouse space and services in your area.
