WHY YOU’VE GOT TO HAVE YOUR BUSINESS ON TWITTER

Who said Twitter is going anywhere? With nearly 100 million users, Twitter is definitely here to stay, for a pretty long time! Businesses both large and small have discovered the benefits of promoting their products and services on Twitter. This is because Twitter provides a very ample platform where businesses are able to carry out their customer service, brand, promote and market their products.

If you are not yet promoting your business on Twitter, here are five reasons why you should get started now.

1. Twitter has a great way of driving traffic to your website. By making contacts with your followers, you business too does make contact with your target market. This leads to the establishment of a relationship in which your followers - who are your target market as well - make visits to your website. Every Tweet or connections you make with your followers or Retweets you do to other people’s messages all draw attention to you, your business and website. The ability of major search engines to pick up live tweets is a big plus to your business as this provides to you an instant exposure to a very large audience.

2. Tweeting and retweeting exposes you to more people within the marketplace. By Retweeting, you are able to develop and spread your influence over a very short period of time with a large group of people who are also your potential customers. Twitter is certainly an excellent platform for you to announce your products, projects and sales as well as any other events related to your business.

3. If correctly done over time, Twitter will help you develop your brand. Never use Twitter to address political, social or special interest issues. Use it for your business only. Direct all your effort and time on Twitter on relevant issues to your target market (followers).

4. Twitter can help you gain leads and interest sin your business by selectively making announcements of events within your scope of influence and within the business that will reach out to other followers too. In times when you have no announcements, consider Retweeting other followers announcements or Tweets on subjects related to your business and are of interest to your target market. For best results, you should consider tweeting frequently.

5. Twitter will enable you to gain a competitive edge in your industry. This is because tweeting is another way of telling your target market “look at me and my products, as I think I’ve got something you might like”

Ant the best part of it all is that Twitter is all FREE!

Having a Twitter account for your business promotion is a brilliant move that if properly executed will not take a lot of time for you to administer and reap results.
