Twitter Now Lets Brands Tweet Deals to Users With a New Offer Button

Discounts in time for holidays

Twitter is rolling out a new feature that allow brands to tweet deals, which users can claim online and redeem in stores. Twitter Offers is the messaging network’s second step into e-commerce, after trotting out a buy button for tweets over the summer.

Twitter is working with major retailers, chain stores and small shops that will tweet messages with a new offer button, promoting deals much like the ones you find on Groupon.
