I haven’t re-blogged in awhile but I thought this post was well worth it. Enjoy…
Hey, brands
attemptingfailing social media, look what C-Town did!A year ago, Neighborhoodr’s Williamsburg blog made us aware of our grocery store’s tumblr presense, a blog titled, “C-Town is tumbling?! Really?? YUP!!!”
At first we were laughing at C-Town, but once they started incorporating internet jokes into their promotions, actually participating in our #Zuckershop forced meme, we were laughing with them (and shopping there more often, too).
BUT THIS TAKES THE CAKE.
The manager, knowing that I am from Pittsburgh, tweeted at me to let me know that they had filled a request for Iron City Beer, and that I should come in and grab some. Even though he’s rooting for the Jets today, he thought I deserved my hometown’s beer of choice for the AFC Championship. And for that, I think they deserve some kind of awesome internet award.
Respect, C-Town. Respect.
