Are you following everyone on our list?
So you’ve set up your ecommerce business’ Twitter account and you’re ready to start tweeting out all of those great offers, new products, competitions and insightful blog posts. Brilliant. But Twitter is a two-way street. You can garner industry insights, keep up on news (and your competition) by following the right people.
But who should you follow?
For your own business contacts and competition you will have to dig around and find their Twitter handles. But to get you started here is a list of some of the top ecommerce flavoured Twitter accounts we think you should be following:
Ecommerce professionals
– Matt Cutts – Head of Webspam at Google
– Nick Lansley – Head of Research and Development for the Tesco.com
– Christine Bardwell – Retail insights research manager at IDC – the global market intelligence firm.
– James Hart – Director at ASOS
– Martha lane Fox – UK’s digital champion and Lastminute.com co-founder
– Brent Hoberman – Investor and Lastminute.com co-founder
– Paul Knutton – Ecommerce manager at online clothing giant Boden
– Ning Li – Made.com CEO and founder
– Wendy Tan White – co-founder of Moonfruit
– Benjamin Dyer – CEO of SellerDeck
– Chris Poad – Director, Seller Services at Amazon.com
– Mark Pearson – Founder MyVoucherCodes.co.uk
– Rand Fishkin – Founder of SEOmoz
– Martin Gill – Principal Analyst, eCommerce and Channel Strategy, Forrester Research
– Hiten Shah – Co-founder of KISSmetrics
– Tobias Lütke – Founder of Shopify
– Glen Richardson – CEO Justbought.it
– Darren Hitchcock – Vice President – UK/EU Region, RichRelevance
– Founder and CEO of Flubit
– Tom Allason, founder and CEO of Shutl
I would add to this list. He tweets about usability in ecommerce and is the cofounder of both analytics companies KISSmetrics and Crazy Egg. And of course I would add really useful tweets about ecommerce tips and software.
Thanks Natalie that’s great!
