The Top Brands Using Twitter Cards

Twitter cards are a compelling way to help your social media accounts become revenue-generating machines. These cards are all awesome strategies for using the tool, from simple product pushes to event RSVPs to collection launches. Even better than Twitter cards alone? An integration with your CRM, email, or omnichannel platform — like we have at Sailthru — so you can track accurate customer attribution (and market better to them later.)
