CLEVELAND — More businesses are turning to Twitter for customer service interactions because the social media website is widely used and allows for quick responses, according to Small Business Trends.

To separate normal communications from those dealing with complaints, a second Twitter account may be created by a business, the blog suggests. However, creating a different Twitter handle for customer service will increase expectations for a quick response.
When a negative tweet comes in, Twitter can be used to refer the person to a FAQ guide on the company website or to a self-help page, notes the blog. Also, your wash may be receiving similar complaints time and again, and a prepared response can work in this situation to quickly solve the issue.
