Uses Twitter to communicate with customers almost every day. • Respond to questions concerning: • Products • Store openings/locations • Not only answers questions, they have a conversation with their customers. It has a more personal feel to the responses. • On the sidebar, there are links to find store locations near you or where you can go to suggest a new store.
Also share cooking and health tips through Twitter. • Follows about 600,000 people. • Very accessible through the Whole Foods Web site. • Did not push messages onto customers. • Is reflective of company culture. • For Whole Foods, Twitter is sustainable.
