One of the benefits of social media is the timeliness factor. Brands can offer up promotions that are timely for their customers with few simple clicks. It’s really a no-brainer. Take a look at Stack’d Bar (a new bar in Milwaukee) – on a Friday afternoon at 4pm, it sent out a Facebook update:

Stack'd Bar Friday promotion

It’s a promotion that is timely as people are likely to check Facebook on Friday afternoon for friends to hang out with and places to go Friday night.

How about for your business? Would your customers appreciate timely incentives or promotions from your Facebook fan page or other social media platforms?
