10 Twitter Best Practices for Brands

issues did you solve, leads did you create, and dollars did you save through Twitter engagement versus
traditional resources?

8. Be authentic & believable
you and your brand need to be believable. This means spending time listening to your community, observing it, and learning
about the dynamics of that community.

• 10. Don’t just strategize: execute!
By spending too much time trying to think of the best strategy, you are going to miss priceless
opportunities to fix problems, answer questions, and create brand affinity with customers.
With Twitter your mantra should be: just get out there and try it.
![Page 85: Miami Dade Chamber of Commerce Social Media Success Workshop presentation 2011-02](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051512/5405ed6d8d7f729e768b4f00/html5/thumbnails/85.jpg)
What is Your Twitter IQ
• Are we using Twitter to help boost our site traffic?
• Are we using Twitter to improve
our search rankings?
• Are we tapping Twitter to sell
seasonal merchandise and excess inventory?
• Are we using Twitter as a focus group environment?
• Are we using Twitter to its fullest potential?
• Are new clients finding me though Twitter?
![Page 86: Miami Dade Chamber of Commerce Social Media Success Workshop presentation 2011-02](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051512/5405ed6d8d7f729e768b4f00/html5/thumbnails/86.jpg)
The Twitter Road Map
• Instead of answering the question, “What are you
doing?”, answer the question, “What has your attention?”
• Have more than one twitterer at the company. People
can quit. People take vacations. It‟s nice to have a
variety.
• When promoting a blog post, ask a question or explain
what‟s coming next, instead of just dumping a link.
• Ask questions. Twitter is GREAT for getting opinions.
• Follow interesting people. If you find someone who
tweets interesting things, see who she follows, and
follow her.
![Page 87: Miami Dade Chamber of Commerce Social Media Success Workshop presentation 2011-02](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051512/5405ed6d8d7f729e768b4f00/html5/thumbnails/87.jpg)
The Twitter Road Map
• Tweet about other people‟s stuff. Again, doesn‟t directly
impact your business, but makes us feel like you‟re not
“that guy.”
• When you DO talk about your stuff, make it useful. Give
advice, blog posts, pictures, etc.
• Share the human side of your company. If you‟re
bothering to tweet, it means you believe social media
has value for human connections. Point us to pictures
and other human things.
• Don‟t toot your own horn too much.
• Promote the heck out of others, too.
![Page 88: Miami Dade Chamber of Commerce Social Media Success Workshop presentation 2011-02](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051512/5405ed6d8d7f729e768b4f00/html5/thumbnails/88.jpg)
The Twitter Road Map
• You don’t have to:
– read every tweet.
– reply to every @ tweet directed to you (try to reply to some, but don’t feel guilty).
• Use direct messages for 1-to-1 conversations if you feel there’s no value to Twitter at large to hear the conversation
• Use services like Twitter Search to make sure you see if someone’s talking about you. Try to participate where it makes sense.
• 3rd party clients like Tweetdeck & Twhirl easier to manage Twitter.
• Use the URL shortening tools TinyURL and others tidy your tweets.
• Commenting on others’ tweets, and retweeting what others have posted is a great way to build community.
