What is Twitter?
Twitter is an online social network–it’s like a 24/7 chamber mixer for people around the world. The conversation is constantly going on and you can choose to jump in and out of it as you please, posting your own information or commenting on other people’s information.
1) Customize your Twitter profile.
You can create a profile on Twitter for free. After you’ve signed up, you can customize your profile by adding your company branding (logo, colors, etc.). Create a small icon to represent your comments everywhere they appear as well as a background image for your Twitter home page. If you need help, call us!
2) Network with other local businesses.
Create a network of “followers” (Twitter’s word for friends/colleagues) to share and cross promote specials and events. Here are the Twitter handles for some of our favorite local businesses and news sources: OldCity, OldCityWeb, Neds_Kitchen, Karen_SJCVenues and HistoricCity.
3) Save yourself some time with HootSuite.
If you have a Facebook page for you company as well, you can update both profiles at one time with online programs like HootSuite and ping.fm. You can sign up for free and add multiple social networks to your account. You can also schedule Tweets to post later and easily keep up with all the latest trend topics.
4) Link your Twitter profile to your website.
Make sure your customers know how to find you on Twitter and tell them what kind of information you’ll be sharing there. If people know to look to your Twitter feed for upcoming specials and events, they will check back often for updated info. We can add a Twitter logo and link to your site for you in minutes!
5) Find followers with Twellow.
Twitter’s equivalent to the Yellow Pages is Twellow. Register your profile and search for people you want to connect with by location, category, profession and more. Find other businesses in St. Augustine and around the world.
