Since Twitter allows businesses to connect with people who don't already follow them (unlike Facebook and LinkedIn), Twitter is the perfect way to connect with new audiences and grow awareness. Twitter marketing can be difficult for businesses, however once you understand what Twitter is and how it works, the results can be phenomenal. What makes Twitter unique is that it allows businesses to connect with people and join in conversations via search. For example, if someone on Twitter Tweets about going to your neighborhood, you can Tweet at them with some restaurant or parking tips. Essentially, Twitter is a powerful discovery tool, especially for retailers. An additional opportunity for retailers is to use Twitter to get people talking -- encourage your customers and browsers to share their experiences or favorite products.
