If You Aren’t Twittering Yet, You Need to Be!

With so many social networking websites out there, businesses can feel overwhelmed by what ones they should join. One site that is very popular, especially for small businesses, is Twitter. This is a micro-blogging platform. It is free to use and many businesses are using it. This platform is excellent for notifying others about events, and also about products and services that a business is offering. Twitter is easy to use because it provides short bursts of information at one time. It allows other users to follow the business’ updates and vice versa. Users of Twitter can sign up to receive updates from what other people on Twitter are doing. According to Fortune Magazine, “According to comScore, Twitter had almost three million monthly users as of June, which is triple what it had last November.” You may be asking why do I need to do Social Networking and why is it so important? Social networking is how small businesses form relationships and network with people out of their local area. This can lead to prospective clients. Also, once there is an online presence that is formed, other people and businesses are more likely to refer you to their network of connections. It can also increase your attendance at events you may be having or participation in promotions that you are having. All in all, Twitter can be a very valuable tool to help you gain exposure for your business. What has your experience been with Twitter? How valuable has it been for your business?

Best,
