In Business? Still trying to make Twitter pay?

by matt on April 2, 2011

I speak to lots of businesses on my travels each week helping and advising  them on how they should best use Social Media to their advantage. More and more businesses are starting to catch on but still see Twitter as a very complicated subject which they’re not prepared to spend a little time on to get to grips with!

B2B marketers should look toward Twitter as a cost-effective way of getting closer to customers. The question you should be asking yourself today is ’should I be looking to extract value from social media tools such as Twitter now, or play catch up, spending more time and effort later on?

The answer is simple – DO IT NOW! – Lots of your customers are already there on a daily basis!

If you’d like to chat more about how your business should be using Social Media to it’s advantage just give me a call on 07013161306 anytime. Here is a great article on ‘micro blogging’ (Twitter) which I found very helpful - http://www.socialmediamarketinguk.com/category/micro-blogging – Maybe you will too!

Enjoy :@)
