Bring your social media craze to your advantage by exposing yourself to its opportunities. “Liking” the Facebook page of your favorite airlines is just one way to save cash when you shop. Other than that, here are 4 Amazing Ways To Use Social Media To Save Cash…
1. GET FREE PRINTOUTS AND TUTORIALS
You do not need to spend S$5 for a decent looking greeting card, all you have to do is to browse through the free printouts available on Pinterest – a global photo sharing website. Users such as Mique Provost 30daysblog and Amber Price: Crazy Little Projects Amber Price: Crazy Little Projects can give you simple Do-It-Yourself ideas such as a Photo Paper Flower Bouquet Printable and a Free Printable: Inspirational Quotes.

2. SELL YOUR STUFF
Social media, defined as websites or applications that enable the users to share content and to network, allows daily access of many consumers…all over the world. With this knowledge, you can supplement your Ad with a social media post.
For example, you may clean up the clutter in your closet and find the things that you deem to be unused or underused and sell them to your friends and family through Facebook or Instagram. Alternatively, you can turn your hobbies (e.g., baking cupcakes or making jewelries) into your home-based business.
3. SAVE ON PHONE BILLS
Save money and time by taking your customer complaints or issues on Twitter or Facebook. This will prevent the countless hours on the helpline only to be transferred to different departments. If the matter is more personal, you may message them directly without posting on their timeline.
4. FOLLOW THE SHOPS OR COMPANIES YOU PATRONIZE
You signed up to your favorite shop’s website mailing list but, do you check your inbox regularly? If not then, you might have missed out on some special deals. To prevent this, you can follow the shops or companies you like such as Forever 21 Singapore or Kinokoniya Bookstore Singapore. Retailers often put coupon or discount codes online so, stay social!
