10 Twitter Best Practices for Brands Utilize either a branded or personal profile

10 Twitter Best Practices for Brands Build your Twitter equity and credibilityYou won’t succeed in building your Twitter equity by pushing out one way marketing messages about your product

Follow the 80/20 Rule 80 percent of my tweets are conversational and personal,20 percent are about the company

10 Twitter Best Practices for Brands 5. Track metrics and conversation trends

10 Twitter Best Practices for Brands One metric you absolutely must track: how much money Twitter has saved your brand. How manyissues did you solve, leads did you create, and dollars did you save through Twitter engagement versus traditional resources?

10 Twitter Best Practices for Brands • 6. Don’t go overboard; less structure is better• Planning, training, coordination and integration with social tools is imperative — just don’t go overboard and create a social media policy that is too restrictive.

10 Twitter Best Practices for Brands 7. Listen and observe before engaging

10 Twitter Best Practices for Brands 8. Be authentic & believableyou 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 Twitter Best Practices for Brands • 9. Track, measure, and iterateThe great thing about the social web is that it’s not difficult to track the results of Twitter engagement,

10 Twitter Best Practices for Brands • 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.

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?

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.

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.

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.
