10 Gluten-free Food Companies on Twitter You Should Follow
We all know that Twitter can be an awesome resource for finding out about what your friends are up to or for following Celebrities or bands you admire. However, it’s also a great tool for following food brands you admire as well.
As I pointed out in our Food Brands That Tweet: Why More Consumers Should Be On Twitter , twitter makes it easier to have a conversation with the food brands that you like but following food companies on twitter isn’t always a 24/7 marketing fest.
In fact, following food companies can also keep you in the know when a particular food brand has some exciting news, new recipes, coupons or contests available.
On our Zeer Select Twitter account we tweet and re-tweet gluten free topics we find interesting, especially from manufacturers who contribute gluten free goodness to the grocery aisles. Together, we’ve picked our favorite gluten free food follows so you can benefit from the great deals and contests we’re finding every day.
Enjoy!
10 Gluten Free Food Manufacturers You Should Follow
When Kinnickinnick had a big announcement to make about their factories becoming 100% nut free they turned to Twitter to share the happy news. That means that people who live with multiple allergies suddenly had over 20 new products suddenly available to them. Without twitter, many of them might never have known!
Pamela’s does a great job of letting its customer’s know about events, tastings, and appearances they’re doing to get the word out about their products.
Enjoy Life CEO uses Twitter to let his followers know about special deals posted to the website – super helpful since most of us are probably checking our Twitter feed more often than Enjoy Life’s website.
Kind Snacks recently began selling their gluten-free snack bars in Starbucks. After Starbucks got some bad press from discontinuing their Gluten Free Valencia Cake and replacing the option with Kind Snacks, Kind Snacks turned to twitter to help repair some of the demand created from the decision by offering its followers a taste of their product, a very classy move from a very company that’s obviously extremely dedicated to making its customers happy.
Some products are great because they’re socially conscious, too. Honest Tea is not only USDA certified organic but they also remind their followers to take advantage of their ultra-cool, music-lover’s giveaways.
I don’t know about you, but I miss secret clubs. Blue Bunny knows this and offers their follower’s a chance to get free stuff just by saying a secret password.
We count on food manufacturers to know the ins and outs of their products. We also want them to provide us with new and fun ways to use their products. Dagoba knows that their organic chocolates are awesome but also understand it’s hard to find the need for it on a hot sunny day like the 4th of July. Recently they tweeted a great recipe on how to turn their chocolate bars into frozen hot chocolate. The best part is, the recipe is easily gluten free when you use gluten free hot cocoa mix.
Bob’s Red Mill is one of the better companies that twitter. Not only are they super responsible responding to customer tweets, they also make following them fun and rewarding with their daily contests and trivia questions.
Sometimes following a food company gives you an inside scoop on what’s going on behind the scenes, like the launch of a new product.
In this economy, it helps to know that great companies are still hiring. Stonyfield farm recently tweeted about their job opening in NH. That’s one way to attract someone who really cares about what they’re doing as a company.
