10 Great Twitter Tactics For Business
1. Allow clients and prospects to sign up for your twitter feed (you can stick a link on your website/blog) and inform them quickly and easily updated about new product/service offerings and developments
2. Tie up lead generation forms to a ‘leads’ twitter profile so your/your sales team can get ‘tweets’ as well as an email when new leads come in. Takes a bit of development work but it’s certainly possible.
3. Employees can co-operate with each other from different locations and have all their feedback/brainstorming on a project collected on a twitter feed. Great for referring back to.
4. Launching a brand new product? Attending a tradeshow or conference? Tweet about it.
5. Got co-workers that work out in the field? They can keep you updated on their progress through twitter on their mobile phone. They can check any updates from you too this way.
6. Ask your customers/employees/peers for help. Fire out a question and provided you have built up enough of a following people will help you out.
7. Want to keep your sales teams updated with the latest figures/sales data? Stick it on twitter (yes you can make it secure so only approved people can view it).
8. Light weight email tool. You can use twitter to send emails directly to your co-workers and partners. The fact that you only 140 characters to write in means you need to get to the point quickly and that your messages will be digested quickly and easily.
9. Promote educational material/events. Has your hedge fund recently created a guide to the best investments available? Organising a seminar on how to share trade profitably? Promote these on twitter easily and quickly.
10. Promote your blog. You can automatically get your latest blog posts tweeted on twitter. Great way to build a following and keep people updated about what you’re writing about.
