Words really can’t describe what Twitter can do for your business. Our web design firm, Tech Solution, embraced Twitter about a year ago and I can honestly tell you 80% of our leads come from the service… No joke!
Twitter is a mini-blogging application. It allows you to post small snippets of text, 140 characters or less, to your followers. You can include links and using a few thirdparty applications, photos.
At first, you might think, “What is Twitter going to do for my business?” And honestly, I thought the same thing at first too. But hold on! Check out these ways of promoting your sites through the infamous mini-blogging application!!
Here are some incredible ways you can use Twitter to market your business:
Use Twitter To Drive Traffic To Your Site
Questions are great mediums on Twitter. Post a question and include a link to your blog. For example. If you’re a graphic designer, you can ask the question, “Do you know how you can use vector art to make stickers?” Follow the question with a link to your blog and then track the traffic to your blog post!
Using Comments As Blog Fuel
Another creative way to drive traffic to your blog is to write a twitter post using some of the more interesting or unique comments to blog posts you’ve written. You might also share some experiences from meetings or telephone conversations. These can start very interesting conversations and drive traffic to your company website.
Announce Contests and Events
Announcing contests and events using Twitter is easy… Make sure you post a link to your website where the contest details are offered or post a question and challenge someone to be the first response. Give them something related to your business for answering the question correctly first.
Share Personal Adventures
This is difficult for a lot of people to grasp – personality wins in social media. If you don’t show personality, you will lose a very sad battle. If you’re having a company picnic, share a picture or post a funny or thought provoking quote the CEO just made during a speech. Anything that helps build your brand, company philosophy, and marketing strategy is worthy of posting.
Tweet Anything Thought Provoking
Post interesting or thought provoking statistics, quotes, or headlines and start a conversation. During the conversation, when appropriate, it may be possible to link to your company website.
Make An Announcement Or Do A Press Release
Do you have a new wonderful product or service to share with the world? Use twitter to make an announcement – amplify the power of the announcement and post a code to give the first 5,10, or 50 customers. Make it an event.
In Summary – Twitter is about being social
Twitter is one of those applications that are contagious… Think instant messaging of the future. Twitter gives you the power to send a message to just one person, or thousands. It’s your choice. The sooner you harness it and begin building up follower lists – the sooner you will start to see your business grow!
