INKSTERS PUTS PROPERTIES UP FOR SALE ON TWITTER

A Scottish law firm has come up with an innovative way of trying to stimulate interest in the housing market – by putting properties up for sale on Twitter.

Glasgow-based Inksters Solicitors, which also practices in Edinburgh and Shetland, is thought to be the first legal ‘Twitterer’ in the country by advertising homes on the new social networking site.

The firm, which started micro-blogging on Twitter last month, has enhanced its presence on the site by adding two property listings to complement its property websites.

Brian Inkster, of Inksters, said: "Social networking via the web is a global phenomenon that business is beginning to embrace.

“Law firms are often reticent to join in activity of this kind.

“However, I see it as a natural progression in the use of modern technology to communicate with our clients and prospective clients.”
