How to Use Twitter as Part of Your Social Media Marketing Strategy
5:27 PM
Twitter can be purposefully used as part of a social media marketing strategy to promote your brand and boost sales.
Your colleagues can help build your Twitter following by sharing and retweeting your company tweets to their followers.
Likewise, you can request current
customers to help increase engagement on your Twitter page and bring
more visibility to your tweets. To automate this process, you may use a service like GaggleAmp.
It might be wholly unwise, but there are
still some people who dismiss Twitter as a digital distraction from
more serious online channels. With meteoric growth and more than 288
million active users across the globe, Twitter is a social network that
no business can ignore.
Twitter’s apparent simplicity of use is
rather misleading. But you just scratch the surface and a hugely
rewarding social network soon becomes evident. If you want to use
Twitter as part of your social media marketing strategy, you must understand some of the basics to succeed meaningfully.
Twitter, which was launched by founder
Jack Dorsey on 21st March 2006, is “the best way to share and discover
what is happening around us.”
Twitter, which is based in San
Francisco, has more than 25 offices across the globe and has on its
payroll of around 3,300 employees.
Twitter is vibrant, as millions of users
compose, reply and engage with each other using short messages known as
Tweets. Tweets can either be a mixture of text, web links, and media,
but must fit within the prescribed 140-character limit.
Twitter is all about engagement, and your messages have to be crisp and succinct.
Naturally, as a social media network,
Twitter encourages engagement between its users, allows them to reply to
Tweets, mention other users in their Tweets and share interesting
Tweets with their followers through ‘Retweeting’.Thus, people make
themselves visible to users outside of their circles, trying to enlarge
their follower base and increase their influence.
