Largest 4G LTE......VZW!

A company that comes to mind that is using social media for marketing is Verizon Wireless. Verizon has the largest 4G LTE network in comparison to all other vendors. With over 5,794,019 likes on Facebook and now joining together with Redbox and Comcast, there are sure to be even more advertisements and campaigns to come. I am a Verizon customer and I have been for quite some time. They consistently advertise their newest products and notifications of any new updates on the new and current products being used. I see the advertisements and tips in my news feed on Facebook and also on the sidebar telling me which of my friends like their product as well.

I like Verizon Wireless, however I hide their statues most of the time because it may not always be something I want to see or hear about when I go to my Facebook news feed. I cannot say if the campaign would make me likely purchase the products or services necessarily but their offers are quite tempting. I guess it would depend upon my financial situation at the times they advertise new products or services. Other than that, I sometimes like to hear about any special features or tips on how to use certain apps or icons that I might have on my phone. Their notification of joining Redbox; “Redbox Instant” made me curious to know how they work. Since I currently use Netflix and have gotten pretty bored with their library. I decided to try them out for the free 30 day trial offer.

Quite interesting; but they pretty much hold the same selection of movies as Netflix. Netflix has a larger selection than Redbox Instant, but that’s because they are fairly new and most of their sales are via the kiosk. I like the idea of getting 4 free movies (even new releases) a month out of the kiosk for about $8 a month. However, to me, it’s just another way to get more Redbox sales. I think I’ll stay with Netflix for right now.  

Overall, advertisements, campaigns, and promotions are part of the many ways to market within today’s society. Providing alerts on the side bar for specials or promotions that are going on would make me all the more of interested into what they have to offer. Especially, with all the hottest phones they tend to bring out every quarter, they are sure to grab my attention!
