    TweetWagon.com is a local directory of businesses who are advertising on Twitter. You may be thinking, “What does that mean to me?” Good question.

    It is becoming more and more popular, and even recommended, for a local business to offer significant discounts and deals exclusively to it’s Twitter followers. There are more and more success stories of businesses using this simple ad model. This is like gold for consumers.

    We all know that when companies have to compete for your business their products get better and their prices get lower. Hence free market capitalism. So the more you demand your favorite local business advertise on Twitter the more you will see better deals and discounts when they see these deals are effective.

    TweetWagon.com is listing more businesses everyday. How can you benefit from our service though?

    Here are 5 keys to keep money in your pocket with our website:

    1. Visit TweetWagon.com regularly to see what new businesses are on there trying to get your business with noteworthy Twitter exclusive deals.

    You may visit your local TweetWagon site one day and see a certain number of businesses, but the next day there will probably be new businesses on there. It is worth the two minutes you give it if you end up netting a nice sum of savings each week. Keep in mind that the more you visit the site the more businesses will want to be listed there.

    2. Tell every business you visit that you want to see them listed on our site or advertising with us. Tell them every time you visit them. The more they hear what you want the more they will be prone to give it to you. Even if they refuse to use Twitter they can sign up with us at a low cost so we can advertise their deals on our local TweetWagon Twitter account like Twitter.com/TweetWagonRDU (for the Raleigh/Durham area).

    3. Tell your friends to visit TweetWagon regularly.

    4. Email TweetWagon.com to tell us what you want. We would love to hear from you if there is a favorite local business of yours that you would like to advertise with us. When you tell us your demands, we are armed with a lot of influence and pull to effectively recruit the business to give you good deals through us.

    5. When you give a business patronage because you found a good deal via our TweetWagon site then let the business know that their listing with us was effective. This motivates them to keep their #localdeal activity at a high level, which is good for you.

    Well there you have it! Those are five things you can do to save more money through TweetWagon.com. Thanks for checking us out and we hope you enjoy the ride.

    TweetWagon exists to connect local consumers with local businesses. We exist to utilize the local potential of Twitter. We are jumping out of our seats wanting to tell you how valuable a tool we are building at http://tweetwagon.com. I say we are still building it because we still have more features we will be offering in the future like the ability for a business to pay to be featured on the homepage of their zip code. But our concept is functional and we now have businesses signing up with us every day.

    We had some rough spots with our launch date. We had been scheduled to launch on June 1st. However, that date came and went as we realized there were some valuable features that we still needed to add to the site. Our site is now up and running and working great. My favorite part of the homepage is the Latest Local Businesses box on the right which features the ten most recent local businesses that listed on our site. The site ultimately is for consumers though.

    Consumers can register with us and have their own localized (according to zip code) page that lists all businesses tweeting local deals who are listed with us. So if you don’t see a business listed that you would like to be listed then you will have to ask them to check us out.

    We will be adding a feature to the site soon where a consumer can register a business and the business will have an “unverified” status until they sign in to switch the status to “verified”. We will be adding a couple more features as well that will make the site more user friendly and valuable both to the consumer and the business.

    Please feel free to contact us with advice about how to improve the site’s image and functionality. We value your opinion. But for now, we are up and rolling. This is one wagon that won’t be breaking any axles. Jump on board and enjoy the ride.
