Innovative Indeed - The Manufacturing Industry meets Social Media

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) May 8, 2009 -- Social media platforms such as Facebook, Blogs and Twitter were created to facilitate interaction with others. The general public is using these applications to post pictures, ask questions, and meet new people but this is definitely not the extent of how they can be utilized. Like many other consumer businesses and newsgroups, Redwood Plastics, an industrial plastics distributor is finding other ways to utilize these tools.

Redwood Plastics (www.redwoodplastics.com) promotes tradeshow events, new applications and posts fabrication tips, to name just a few, on their blogs, Twitter (plasticsolution) and Facebook accounts on a continuous basis. This diligence has increased their website traffic at an astounding rate. These platforms have been the perfect tools to get the word out to a large range of their customers. “With such a huge variety of plastic materials available, it can be a challenge to keep our expanding markets informed about new applications and new products” says Angela Hansen; Marketing Director at Redwood Plastics. “These tools have allowed us to promote new products to new markets with a very minimal expense.”

Redwood Plastics was founded in 1971 and specializes in industrial applications for the mining, marine, wastewater, food & beverage and forestry industries, they also have products available for medical, construction and transportation projects; including their new “green” product line.
