Krispy Kreme on Twitter

Dropped Feb 9th, 2009 by Ted Murphy in social media

I thought it was genius when I first saw the Krispy Kreme “Hot Now” sign outside their stores. The only thing better than a doughnut is a hot doughnut. What if the marketing folks at Krispy Kreme used that same concept on Twitter?

Each store could have thier own Twitter ID, maybe something like @krispy(store#). You could follow the store and know every time hot doughnuts were ready. I can taste the magical glazed sour creme doughuts already.

This is a knockout idea! The big flashing signs only tell you when there are hot donuts… not necessarily the right flavor. There have been many times when I have gone to a Krispy Kreme late at night because the sign is on, only to find that my favorite (chocolate w/sprinkles) were very not hot. Talk about disappointing.

If I saw a tweet like this I would immediately go to the applicable store…
Krispy1234 Chocolate w/sprinkles are HOT now. Come and get em!
