The Best Tweets
How do you know if you’re successful?- Check your Timeline Activity Dashboard to see if
people are retweeting or favoriting your Tweets
- Create special Twitter-only promotions to bring in new customers or bring regulars back more often
- Ask your customers: Are they following on Twitter?
Smart and witty: People respond to content that is entertaining and clever. Play off trending topics, current events, and breaking conversations.
Conversational: A genuine, approachable tone goes a long way. Try to avoid ‘ad-speak’ and use relatable language. Over time, your Tweets will convey your own voice and style.
Fresh and timely: The real-time nature of the platform creates a short shelf life for content so Tweet often and about relevant topics.
Tweet something sharable: Users come to Twitter to discover. Include a photo, ask a question, share a video, or even add a quote.Understand why people share things to create better Tweets.
Ask, listen and respond: Ask your followers questions to glean valuable insights. Listen for constructive comments and suggestions about your business. Show them you are listening by responding back in real time.
Demonstrate wider leadership and know-how: Reference articles and links about the bigger picture as it relates to your business.
The right content converts people into customers and turns customers into advocates. Follow these simple best practices to craft the perfect Tweets:
