Social Media Series: Twitter Tips
18 May
At the tradeshow we had some social media tips and just in case you missed them here they are!
Limited to 140 characters you often have to be creative to get your information across.
Here are a few ideas to get you started.
- Tweet about a local, industry or company event that looks interesting or that you will be attending.
- What are you working on at the moment? Is it something that others may be interested in?
- Have a sale on a certain product? Tweet about it!
- Let others know about a new product coming out or when you are working on a new line up.
- Read a funny and/or interesting article or video - provide a link and small description (use tinyurl.com etc. to shorten your URL's so you have enough space for a description as well).
- Follow others in your industry and location and re-tweet interesting events, links etc. that come up.
- Ask questions to generate interaction with your clients and gain valuable feedback.
- Search for relevant keywords using http://search.twitter.com to see what people are saying about topics linked to your company or about your product or service.
- Worked with another organization and appreciated doing so? Tweet about it!
- Be personable - Fan of a hockey team etc? Show your support.
- Be professional - remember what you put online can be seen by everyone. FYI: The US Library of Congress is archiving all public tweets.
