Smart Internet Marketing

Twitter is essentially a micro-blog and should be a key part of any smart internet marketing plan. Through Twitter, companies can post updates, comments and thoughts about their products and services in 140 characters or less, and this activity can help direct traffic back to their websites. It’s a no-cost way to engage with your customers and potential customers, and it demands little of your valuable time.

Companies can use Twitter to announce specials, deals or sales instantly to a large audience. Dell and Woot have embraced this form of marketing, with a lot of success.

If your company provides services like pest control or home modifications, you can use Twitter to announce interesting facts and trivia about your line of work.

Encourage interaction and conversation by posing a question, and when users reply or ask further questions, respond by placing an ‘@’ symbol in front of their username.

You can also use Twitter to post URLs to content on your company’s blogs and websites. If you have a long URL that you want to market on Twitter, save space by converting into a short URL at TinyURL.com.
