School me on Twitter "Promotion?"

So the other day I log into my Twitter account and find several tweets from people I do not follow, but who must follow or interact with Dealer Refresh, that were "promoted" or forced into my feed.

I'm curious how this is done, and what, if anything it costs, because it might be a good marketing tool. I don't have many followers and I am still building my own following list, and I certainly noticed these tweets.

Used for good, this could be a great tool. Is there an easy primer on how to do this?
 
If anyone wants a STREAM of excellent research, I highly recommend following Ed Brooks on Twitter.

I find myself constantly flagging his tweets for me to circle back and read later.

Now, if I could only cure him of his love for klout, bacon and coffee! I might have time to read all his interesting links! hahhaa

Thnx for your efforts Ed!

But they make it all the more fun! but I'm more a fan of #PondLife!

I second following Ed ( @VelocitySales ) for great info...as a green pea he has been a great help!!!
 
Ed called me the other day. He has a program that will tell you how your used vehicles are priced relative to the market. I am trying to convince an old school friend of mine, to go to vAuto. That has been a lot of brain damage but Ed is a prince. I really enjoyed talking with him.

Uncle Joe gets very testy when you fill his Twitter stream with klout, which is understandable although very fun.......I am having a hard time understanding this hatred for bacon and coffee however?:D

A dealer asks how Twitter "Promoted Tweets" work and whether they're worth the cost for marketing. A community member provides a resource link explaining the feature, and the conversation quickly derails into friendly banter about Ed Brooks' excellent Twitter content and recommendations for vAuto pricing software. The thread doesn't reach a substantive conclusion on the original topic but does establish that Ed Brooks is a respected resource for automotive industry research and that vAuto is a recommended tool among dealership professionals.
