50 Pieces of Social Media Merchandise

Tangible Twitter Items and Facebook Fanatic Pieces

— November 21, 2010 — Pop Culture
Social media merchandise refers to actual, physical objects following a social media theme. The rise of Twitter gifts and physical Facebook finds has increased in popularity within the past year, signifying the true power of social media.

Online communities are expanding beyond the confines of a computer screen and into real life. Check out the social media merchandise to get some stocking stuffer ideas.

Implications - With the increased popularity of social media, consumers also want to get their hands on merchandise that reflect their love for these websites. The need to identify with a certain social media site shows that users not only want to use them, but to also identify with them through physical objects. This desire from consumers to associate themselves with a certain site tells companies there is a desire to more fully integrate with social media in order to create their personal identity.
