Handbag Showdown: Twitter or bitter? Michael Kors Vs. Coach Round 2

By Reana Nibbs
Are you ready to rumble? It’s officially time for round two of this Handbag showdown. The rules and guidelines are all the same (refer to Round 1: The Facebook Battle for details). Let’s see who has the better twitter or are they going to be bitter?

Michael Kors
MK has a very hands on approach with twitter. Twits often, sometimes a few times a day. Also promotes that charity just as often as they do about themselves. Twitter really shows how involved MK is with things other than just handbags. They also love to promote helping out. Content: 4 it’s interesting, up to date and just reader friendly.

3.3 million Followers with their retweets and likes being quite low. MK makes up for that with keeping their twitter filled with new content and retweets from other sources. This twitter feels more personal than done by a company. Success: 2.5.

With funny photos and sometimes even funnier captions, MK keeps the readers interest by providing a little humor. They slip in the odd promotion here or there for their handbags. But mostly it’s about keeping people updated on the company and their campaigns, with some inspiration mixed in. Creativity: 4.

Overall: 10.5.

Coach is a little bit more with the 50/50 rule on twitter. They have a lot more content, retweet quite a bit and promote their own stuff. They team up with other companies to promote together and build these cool articles to keep the reader reading and interested. Content: 4.

With 600k followers, coach has about the same number of likes and retweets as Michael Kors per post. Comparing this to the amount of followers MK has, Coach definitely has better success with followers. Success: 3.5.


Great photos with exciting captions and more people than bags. Tons of links to articles with titles that capture the reader’s interest making them want to read it. Creativity: 3.

Overall: 10.5.

Ladies and Gents it’s a tie! Both companies are strong in their own way on twitter. Which means today, no one is bitter.

Get ready for the next showdown: Youtube or You Lose. Let’s be the judges of that.
