Market Your Business on Twitter
Twitter offers users a unique type of internet communication. On Twitter, businesses can quickly send posts called “tweets” to the people that follow them. These “tweets” help to keep consumers on top of what is going on with you and your company. Much like any other social media marketing service, Twitter has its own dynamics and rules of etiquette. If you are able to think creatively and stay within acceptable boundaries, Twitter can become a powerful promotion tool for your business. Let’s take a closer look at how to market your business on Twitter:
- When you create a Twitter account for your business, make sure that your username is recognizable. It should incorporate your company name or a catchy industry term.
- Be sure to fill out your profile completely and upload an avatar.
- To gather a solid base of followers, selectively follow other Twitter users and re-tweet relevant posts.
- Offer information that is relevant to your readers. Tweets should be interesting and free from overt sales tactics.
- Engage with your followers.
- Tweet regularly, but do not overdo it. Plan on one tweet per day in addition to answering any direct tweets that you receive.
- Plan a strategy and stick to it. Twitter can be used for a variety of different purposes. It can be used as an extension of your customer service strategy or it can become a pseudo focus group before launching new products or services.
- Using hashtags before keywords at the end of your tweets make them easier to find by non-followers. In addition, strategic use of hashtags allows you to create logical groups of tweets that others can follow.
