Social Media Goes Real World

Local shopping center advertises it's Twitter account and Facebook business page.

Local shopping center Kierland Commons advertises its Twitter account and Facebook business page.

On Sunday, I spent some time at one of my favorite local shopping centers, Kierland Commons in Scottsdale, AZ. I had a great time hitting all my favorite stores and then spent some time relaxing in the courtyard at the center. But the highlight of my afternoon wasn’t the great deal I snagged in a shop or the yummy tea latte I sipped in the courtyard. It was spotting this sign.

I got excited because it was a first. It reminded me of the first time I saw a web address (URL) on TV and on a billboard and in a magazine, way back when the internet was new (and the earth was still dewy), around 1996. You remember how cute we were, always including the http:// before the address?

Kierland Commons is one of the businesses I’ve listed in my Phoenix small business lists (I have two lists because of the 500 member limitation on lists). I think they do a great job promoting their shopping center and their tenants on Twitter and Facebook. They even include their Twitter and Facebook information on the printed shopping center directory for visitors.

If you are looking for a good example of how to do social media in the retail space, check them out.
