Cannot believe that 12 months will be here soon on twitter.
Over the last 12 months have had the chance to chat with lots of great people. Twitter has helped us to add new customers and has generated a steady flow of work for our business.
It has amazed me that so many businesses still do not use Twitter or Facebook to help to promote, market and add value to their business.
Here are a few ideas that I have come across or thought about in how Twitter and Facebook can help.
One twitter user who has real embraced it has to be www.twitter.com/Loulouscafe What they have done is that they use twitter not just to promote their offers but to use twitter for face to face networking by arranging meet ups. One key thing is that meeting up and having a coffee is a great way to build up trust and business.
I cannot understand why more pubs, restaurants, cafes etc do not use Twitter etc to promote their menu's offers and guest beers, events etc.
Another sector who are missing business are the likes of hairdressing, health and beauty etc, if you think they can promote offers etc but more important they can use Twitter to promote appointments ie if they have a cancellation they can Tweet it with an offer. Is it not better to get 50% of something than 100% of nothing.
www.twitter.com/dealdrivers who sell cars at a discount use Twitter to promote offers and also Tweet what is happening out there in the car market. As you think we do not buy a new car everyday but what they are doing is building up trust so that when you are in the market for a new car they are only a phone call away.
The tourism sector can use Twitter to help engage with their customers. A great example has to be www.twitter.com/CrichTramway who use both Twitter and Facebook to promote events, news and to create a following by informing people about their history and heritage.
Websites like www.smarta.com use Twitter to inform followers about new blogs, offers etc.Many more sites should use Twitter etc as this helps to drive traffic to the website.
Twitter and Facebook is about engaging with people and building up followers who are interested in what your business offers or does.
So in 12 months and about 2000 followers and generating business has to be a great result.
So if you want to add twitter marketing to your business please give me a call on 01773 599159 and let's see what we can tweet about.
