Why use Twitter ? Because it can provide proven ROU unlike print and TV. Here is why marketing one to one is better than mass marketing and can lead to more sales dollars
5. It’s
true
• Today
social
media
can
be
measured
right
through
to
conversion.
• Tradi3onal
adver3sing
is
measured
in
reach,
frequency,
impressions
and
TWITTER
MARKETING
other
outdated
metrics
that
have
liHle
bearing
on
conversion.
“I
might
remember
your
TV
spot
but
that
doesn’t
mean
that
I’m
going
to
buy
your
product”
6. So
then
what
is
relevant
today
?
• Engagement
&
discussions
by
brand
ambassadors.
TWITTER
MARKETING
• Loyalty
of
customers
as
a
result
of
social
media
collabora3on.
• Number
of
visitors
to
your
site
and
number
of
conversions
from
those
visitors.
• Increase
in
sales
that
can
be
directly
aHributed
to
specific
measurable
brand
collabora3ons.

17. Should
brands
be
Twee3ng?
The
commandments
1. We
can
ar3culate
the
company
vision
in
140-‐characters
or
less
without
PR
garbage
and
clichés.
2. We
are
willing
to
give
to
great,
innova3ve
and
thought-‐provoking
ideas,
even
if
they
come
TWITTER
MARKETING
from
outside
the
company.
3. We
are
willing
to
challenge
someone
who
has
something
nega3ve
to
say
even
if
our
posi3on
generated
cri3cism.
4. We
are
first
willing
to
listen
to
what
others
have
to
say
before
engaging
them.
5. We
are
not
going
to
get
carried
away
and
Tweet
about
banal
corporate
achievements.
6. We
are
going
to
dedicate
resources
to
listen
to
what
others
are
saying
about
us.
7. We
will
never
include
a
press
release,
CEO
speech,
or
annual
report
via
TwiHer
because
that
is
not
engagement.
8. We
understand
that
we
only
Tweet
when
we
have
something
meaningful
to
say.
9. We
will
not
try
to
be
all
things
to
all
followers.
10. We
will
use
TwiHer
not
just
to
give
you
the
good
news,
we’ll
also
use
it
to
let
you
know
the
bad
news
like
product
recalls
or
bad
media
news.
11. We
are
willing
to
try
TwiHer
and
understand
that
along
the
way
we
will
probably
make
some
mistakes.
12. We’ll
empower
our
employees
to
address
any
issues
customers
have
with
our
brand/
products
without
requiring
a
lot
of
3me
because
we
understand
consumers
don’t
want
to
wait
long
for
an
answer.
13. We
understand
that
everyone
is
a
poten3al
influencer
via
TwiHer.
18. Using

communities.

for
Business
2:
Reward
your
loyal
customers
• Tasti D-Lite’s initiatives are defining the social media loyalty program.

TWITTER
MARKETING
important part of their plan to build brand awareness so that they can
open more stores across the United States.
20. Using
TwiHer
for
Business
3:
Market
Research
• Power Twitter users have learned the advantages of keeping a
careful eye on the network’s trends, and that they can perfect the
market research capabilities of Twitter by using Twitter Lists.

Business users should absolutely follow suit.
21. Using
TwiHer
for
Business
4:
TwiHer
Metadata
• Used in combination with the simplistic developer tools, this could
be a powerful way to add Twitter integrations to your site, append
notes about visitors’ on-site Twitter behaviors, tag tweets that
TWITTER
MARKETING
originate from your site, or attach your own identifiers and figure out
ways to reward actions (perhaps even loyalty). There’s definitely
opportunity to be creative and better track Twitter-related data at
the same time.

in

• TwiHer

a
very
useful
tool
in
helping
you
meet

objec3ves
and
its

• However,
it

out
business
strategy
and
process
to
TWITTER
MARKETING
be
successful.
• It’s
OK
to
target
influencers
via
social
media
but
anyone
can
be
an
influencer
it
they
are
not
treated
as
a
person
and
with
respect.
• Experiment
and
op3mize
your
social
media
strategy
as
you
learn
what
your
audience
wants
and
expects
from
you
via
online
collabora3on.
• Using
TwiHer
as
a
business
driver
is
not
easy.
It
requires
a
lot
of
3me
and
the
right
axtude.
Remember
consumers
are
in
control
when
you
use
social
media.
• The
use
of
social
media
can
be
measured
right
through
to
conversion.
Can
you
say
this
about
TV
or
print
?
