Hinges retailer celebrates 1,500th Follower

A leading retailer of hinges and ironmongery this week celebrated its 1500th Twitter follower.

West Midlands, United Kingdom (prHWY.com) January 30, 2013 - A leading retailer of hinges and ironmongery this week celebrated its 1500th Twitter follower. Ironmongery Online sells an extensive range of hinges, door furniture, threaded rods and other items for the building trade and DIY market.

The company only launched its Twitter account at the end of 2012, and has already attracted a substantial following. It was a brave move in a traditionally conservative sector but 1500 Followers later the company's Sales and Marketing Manager Vicky Tomline is convinced it was the correct thing to do. Speaking this week Vicky declared "How every business communicates with its customers is changing. Of course, we use our website to update with news, new products, DIY tips and special offers. But platforms such as Facebook and Twitter allow us to communicate in real time so customers are always kept fully up to date.

"More and more people are accessing the internet through portable devices such as tablets and smartphones and our Twitter account is an easy way for them to see instantly any updates and offers."

The company 'tweets' a couple of times a day "We don't want to overwhelm our followers so we send only select Tweets about our extensive product range - plus anything that we feel our Followers would be like or find useful."

Ironmongery Online was established in 2006. The website holds thousands of products available on next day delivery and new products are introduced daily. The company specialises in hinges, door furniture and general ironmongery but offers a one-stop shop for the general public and trade. It is proud of its extensive range of high quality products but equally as proud of its customer service.

Twitter has over 500 million users worldwide, and over 83% of British businesses use social media to promote their brands but as Vicky says the DIY and building trade sector is a traditionally conservative sector so some may have been surprised at the move into social media "However, we believed that social media is brilliant for both the building trade working on site and the DIY market - which covers all demographics - and our success to date indicates that we were right to add social media to the services we offer customers."

Further details of the range of hinges, door furniture and other ironmongery items can be found at the Ironmongery Online website at www.ironmongeryonline.com and their Twitter page is at https://twitter.com/Ironmongery.
