Social media and our Patriotic weekend

As I logged on today and perused the news I came across this article. Actually it was the promise of free ice-cream that got my attention to decide to click on it. Lo and behold the news contained freebies from various companies. What was interesting was that instead of walking into the store you had to have a coupon. An online coupon. Not really new you say…well to get this online coupon you had to join their Facebook or Twitter account today only. What a great way to gain extra followers by having them opt in to get your freebies. If you want to take a look ( and grab your own freebies) take a look here.

Some of the companies participating in this are Pizza hut,Old Navy, and Dairy Queen.
