    I still feel like Twitter is the best platform to promote stuff.

    Hashtags are huge and their daily #WednesdayWisdow #MondayMorning and other thingies that trend every now and then create an amazing opportunity to promote stuff that WILL get seen and clicked on no matter what.

    Throughout the year, expect retailers to find faster ways to make sales and limit purchasing decisions.
