It is known how effective social media is in maximizing brand awareness and sales.

Social network analysis (SAA) of the most used words in the context of positive, negative, anger, anticipation, disgust, fear, joy, sadness, surprise, and trust of the emotional states of the tweets posted for Getir was performed.
