Did you know?
Iconic jean company Levi has a dedicated Twitter writer, whose sole job is to share the inner workers of the company through a series of witty, informative and interactive ‘Tweets’. The Twitter writer also gathers feedback and information at a grass roots level about what the average consumer really thinks of Levi jeans.
Twitter
Twitters core potential lies in the ability to get news across in a fast, lively and straight to the point way. This reflects the basic essence of all online communication. We know that end users have short attention spans and can get easily bored and navigate away. Twitter works with, rather than against, the flow of online communication.
The idea, or end goal, is to gradually build an online community who regularly visit your website because you have an interesting tweet to follow. Once you have hooked the user with your fascinating tweets, you are much more likely to be able to get a sales conversion.
So what are some companies doing with Twitter?
You read the example above with Levi. Some companies use Twitter to run competitions and give out rewards. Giving the user an ‘inside view’ of the inner workings of your company can be a great idea. Get your employees to tweet about what they are doing, thinking and so on. After all, there is a reason that reality TV shows are so popular. People love real life drama.
- Create a ‘reality Tweet’
- News updates via tweets
- Run Competitions and give Awards
- Ask the consumer for their opinion on issues, ideas and scenarios
It is free to get a Twitter account. Once you have signed up, you can begin tweeting. A tweet is a microblog that is limited in length to 140 characters. By keeping communications…
- Short
- Sharp
- Interesting
- To The Point
