Long gone are the days of leisurely shopping for this overwhelmed mom of four. I just simply do not have the luxury of time. When I once upon a time spent hours shopping in malls and stores for the perfect gift at the perfect price I now grab the closest thing to perfect at whatever price while I’m on the go. Losing money and thoughtful gifts along the way.
Thankfully I am not alone with my shortage of time and my multitude of things to do. The online shopping giant Amazon has created #AmazonCart – a revolutionary way to buy cool things for inexpensive prices online for busy moms just like me.
Tweet Now – Buy Later
#AmazonCart is a new collaboration between Amazon and Twitter. This first of it’s kind service makes shopping easy by finding items to purchase without ever leaving your Twitter feed. You can be anywhere doing anything and by simply replying to an Amazon tweet with the hashtag #AmazonCart – Amazon will add the item to your cart. Your item will stay in your cart until you’re ready to buy it too — So you can “tweet now and buy it later”.
How #AmazonCart Works
- Enable your Amazon account to connect to your Twitter account under Social Settings
- Follow Amazon on Twitter
- Find a tweet containing an Amazon product link
- Reply to that tweet with the hashtag #AmazonCart
- Amazon will add the product to your cart! It’s that FAST and easy!
Amazon has created a video that displays the ease of using #AmazonCart. You can view that video at #AmazonCart Instructions.
I Have a Little Secret
I have a little secret, I sing at the top of my lungs in the shower. Being a busy, overwhelmed mom of four I have found that singing in the shower at the top of my lungs is a great tension release (this is a sad revelation no? haha). I have been on the prowl for a good in shower radio to sing along to. Thanks to Amazon and #AmazonCart I scored one at a really great price.
I found this Amazon tweet with the product:
I immediately replied with enthusiasm and the hashtag #AmazonCart:
And I received a swift personalized response that my speaker was added to my Amazon cart!
Since I used my Amazon Prime shopping account, my brand new shower radio was on my doorstep within 2 days. Now I’m singing like nobody’s business in the shower (and the family loves it I know).
The Funny Mom Blog is on Vine
I made a #CollectiveBias Vine video about the FAST and easy use of Amazon’s #AmazonCart too. Check it out:
Have you used #AmazonCart to purchase something yet? What did you get?
