How to Market Effectively on Twitter

First, you need to?build your Twitter marketing strategy. Your strategy is your foundation for success and is worth all the time you spend researching and creating it.

A Twitter marketing strategy is just like any other social media strategy -- it is centered around the content you create, publish, and distribute to engage your followers. The content you publish should attract new followers, encourage new leads, boost conversions, and grow brand recognition.

1. Research your competition.

Twitter is a tool you can use to search for competitors and see what types of marketing content and tactics they're using. Gathering information on what your competitors are doing will help inform your own strategy. Is there anything they're doing that you should be? What does their customer service look like on the platform? By asking questions about your competitors, you can launch your own highly-developed strategy.

2. Audit your account.

The importance of auditing is not lost when dealing with strategy. In order for Twitter to be a great marketing tool, you have to be organized. Need to audit your account quickly? Here's how to do it in?under 20 minutes.

3. Research best practices.

Like auditing, this is a step that needs to be done continuously. Keeping up on best practices as Twitter is updated and goes through changes is key to keeping your impressions and engagements high.

4. Identify your audience.

Your business personas should be considered in every aspect of marketing, including social media. When crafting your strategy, and even when creating individual pieces of content, you should have a description of your personas in mind. Whom are you trying to reach? What are they interested in? Will this get their attention?

How to Use Twitter for Business

Now that we've discussed tactics for building a Twitter marketing strategy, let's explore some critical steps you need to take to further leverage Twitter's power for your own company.

1. Build a profile that stands out.

First and foremost, you need to set yourself up for success by customizing your profile. The last thing you want is someone turning away from your Twitter account -- and potentially turning away from your business -- because you have a Twitter egg as your profile image.

Be sure to upload compelling images for both your banner and profile picture. While lots of brands have their logo as their profile image, the Banner is where you can get a little creative with your colors and imagery.

2. Add value to your content.

Adding value to your Twitter content is very similar to adding value to other marketing content. You should always keep your buyer personas in mind, because the key to creating successful inbound content is to make your readers feel like you're speaking directly to them.

3. Optimize your content.

Now that you've added value to your content, you want to make sure people see it. You can optimize your content on Twitter using a few different strategies.

Hashtags are an easy and common way to spread your content, but you want to be careful about how many you use. Too many hashtags and your business may come across as spammy -- or like you're trying to steal attention. To put it simply: don't overuse hashtags. Stick with one or two relevant hashtags per tweet.

4. Engage with your audience.

It's critical you regularly engage with your audience on Twitter by tagging them in posts, responding to their comments, or even hosting fun giveaways to get your audience involved.

5. Monitor your brand.

Social listening can allow you to create the type of content your followers actually want, come up with new ideas based on industry trends, improve your customer experience by interacting directly with customers, and shift your strategy to fit your audience's needs.
