Before reading this blog, I'm assuming you already know what twitter is, if not, I'll tell you a bit about it. Briefly, Twitter is a public site where anyone can read, write, post pictures or share messages, 140 characters to make a short and simple tweet to all your followers about what you're doing, where you're going etc. Now if you're simply an independent local business, or a world wide corporation.
Here are some tips and ways that twitter can help you out.
Advertising a new product
Twitter is a great place to promote a new product, it gives customers a good idea of what's coming and what to expect, customers can then either acknowledge the post, or they can retweet the post spreading it across to their followers, before you know it, hundreds of people have read your post and advertising just got a whole lot cheaper, in fact free.
Not sure about carrying a new product? Ask twitter. Twitter is a great place for asking questions, no better way than asking your customers what they want. Utilizing polls or opinions are ways you can do this.
Building your audience and clientele.
400 million tweets a day and 200 million active users, you are bound to create and audience. Twitter provides an easy and efficient way for your business to reach out to its consumers and gauge their interest in to what you offer. Everyday more and more people will find out about you. It provides a forum for discussion about your company and in a world where being interactive and critical is crucial for businesses, Twitter is available to aid you in stepping up your business.
Whenever, wherever
The neat thing about advertising things on twitter, is that people can see wherever they are, instantly. Smartphones, tablets or computers. For example you own a small restaurant, by tweeting daily specials people can immediately see what you have that day, and they can perhaps alter there schedule to swing by and pick a treat, because they can find out about it so quickly!
The power of this tool is amazing, and how it can be so useful when running an establishment. Businesses need twitter, and companies who refuse to sign up for reasons such as "we don't need it" or "it won't help us", are falling short behind businesses that do have it, because it's the time we live in, everything is available instantly. Customers appreciate when businesses go online. Twitter being free, allows anyone to sign up, and I strongly encourage any new business owners who have yet to sign up, to do so now!
