Whether or Not Twitter Can Make Money, San Francisco Locksmith Says They Will

PR Log (Press Release) – Feb 18, 2009 – San Francisco, CA – Even as Twitter completes the business model they will use to hopefully bring profitability, many companies such as the San Francisco Locksmith All American have begun using Twitter to generate leads for business.  It now appears the same questions going on at the executive level within Twitter are now also going on throughout the entire business community.  Companies such as All American Locksmith are part of a growing chorus of business owners that are now in a rush to capitalize on the micro blogging sites new found success.

The locksmith company’s profile on twitter, found here: http://twitter.com/SFBayLocksmith, allows people to tweet the location of a lock emergency along with a phone number, and expect a response in the form of a tweet or phone call within minutes.  While All American does not directly make money through a transaction provided by Twitter, they see the future of social networking tools as one to increase business exposure and revenue for everyone.  Chief Information Officer Andrew Kushibiki of the San Francisco SEO Company Clear Prominence (http://becomenoticed.com) developed the Twitter profile for the locksmith company and has stated: “Social networking technologies like Twitter increase the ability to share useful information with the people who want it most”.

All American has yet to generate a lead off of its Twitter profile, and in many ways is in a similar boat to Twitter itself.  It is almost as if the Gold Rush on Twitter started before the gold was found.  With millions invested the company, and many companies such as Comcast, Jetblue, All American Locksmith, and Kodak  utilizing Twitter to maintain better customer relations,  it is now up to the smart people at Twitter to make the business profitable.  Whether you are an SF Locksmith trying to generate business off of twitter, or Comcast using twitter to better customer experiences it appears that Twitter has created an ideal marketplace where buyers can find sellers, and customers can communicate problems or questions and have them solved.

The official statement from the Company All American Locksmith (http://aalocksmith-24-7.com) is “Whether or not Twitter can make money, we believe our use of Twitter to communicate with customers will bring in new business as well as a higher level of trust amongst the citizens of San Francisco towards their locksmiths”.

It would appear for the time being, that companies such as this one will continue to sprout up on Twitter, and regardless of the monetary success of Twitter itself, many businesses are already seeing Tweeting as a potential revenue stream.
