For online retailers thinking about whether to use Twitter or not, you will be interested to read an item on eConsultancy’s blog. It looks at a recent report by dotCommerce into Twitter and how it’s used by retailers and ecommerce websites.

To tweet or not to tweet?

Apparently, just 26% of UK retailers use Twitter. Some of the best examples are ASOS, eSpares, Asda and Debenhams - so maybe these are Twitter accounts to follow if you’re thinking about leaping in yourselves.

As we’ve said before, make sure you’re signed up for eConsultancy’s newsletters (free) in order to keep abreast on all things to do with ecommerce and digital marketing. Our other top recommendation is Internet Retailing who also have a free e-newsletter that tracks the ecommerce sector with specific comment on the leading ecommerce websites.
