5 Twitter Tips for Small Business
This is based on a presentation I gave in November 2017 at the Small Business Connect-Up which is organised by AtKat Marketing and takes place at the Chase Meadow Community Centre in Warwick:
Tip 1: Do as you would be done by
- Be polite and respectful of others
- When someone follows you, look up their profile and consider following back
- When someone shows you their support, send them a thank you
- When someone messages you, send them a reply
Tip 2: Don’t by shy
- Follow people you know
- Follow people you don’t know
- If you see something interesting give it a like and/or a retweet
- Say hello and engage with people
Tip 3: Mix it up
- I read once that only 1 in 7 tweets on a business account should be ‘buy my stuff’ tweets so that leaves plenty of room for everything else
- Use photos, gifs and videos in your tweets to add diversity and encourage engagment
- Send replies, use both the retweet function and the quote function
- Post at different times of day, and on different days of the week
Β Tip 4: Cross-post carefully
- Having your posts from other social media automatically appear as tweets often makes for very unappealing tweets which are unlikely to get much engagement
- It is possible to have all or some of your tweets automatically appear on Facebook which will display any attached links, and can be edited if necessary
Tip 5: Use networking hours
- Look for industry specific and/or local networking hours
- Remember to use the hashtag on all your tweets
- Say hello and start a conversation
- Be there during the hour – don’t schedule tweets if you aren’t going to be there
- Don’t necessarily try to engage with every tweet – it’s not usually possible!
