INTERIOR DESIGN, ARCHITECTS, SOCIAL MEDIA & TWITTER
Whilst we’re not experts in social media or PR, we have been using social media to gain brand recognition and grow the business for a few years.
I’ve recently been asked ‘what’s Twitter all about?’ by Architects and Property Professionals, So we’ve decided to post an article about Social Media; this is the first – Twitter – 10 Typical questions!
Why should I Tweet?
The three biggest Goals are:
How to Tweet?
- You set up an account and decide whether you are using the account as the business name or personal development.
- Upload a photograph – company logo or a picture of yourself, respectively.
- Strategy think of how you want to position yourself – are you a specialist in a specific area? Consider the best ways to communicate this from your perspective.
- You have 140 characters to get your point across – therefore, you have to get to the end and be concise.
- Tweet about things you like, ask questions,
- What is a #Hashtag? The best way I can describe this is by adding a ‘tag’ to your comment, then when others are interested in the subject you are tweeting about, they find you by searching.
- Soon you will be tweeting confidently – and remember as an old friend taught me – if you ask, you learn!
- I would say the best way of using Twitter is to set out a strategy at the outset. Decide which type of people you would like to communicate about and what content will be.
- If you have decided to use Twitter to promote a specific item or blog, you should use a ‘shortener’ my favourite is bi.tly
You communicate with people and promote the things you like. That way, others will boost your campaign.
TWITTER – THE BASICS
Remember, you will need quality, not quantity. If you are relatively new to Twitter, don’t worry about being the most popular or getting retweets. Get yourself confident, listen to what others say and join in!
Once you’re feeling more confident, think about using an online tool such as Hootsuite or Tweetdeck. These help you manage and time your posts effectively.
I tweet as the company account. I’m sure you can guess the link @viainteriors!
