Twitter Fail Whale

According to Twitter it promotes itself as:

...a service for friends, family, and co–workers to communicate and stay connected through the exchange of quick, frequent answers to one simple question: What are you doing?

But, a smart business can use Twitter for so much more. Here are a few ways to try out Twitter with your business

Exclusive deals

Give your customers a reason to add you to their list with Twitter-only deals, specials, and sales

Create transparency

Share company news, projects, and extra insight into your business and your customers will feel more engaged and involved.

Give important updates

Provide customers with holiday closures/hours, in-store events, website upgrade notices, and more!

Find new clients

Go to search.twitter.com and search for something like "Find a web designer" to find people who need your services.

Provide customer service

Create a Twitter presence to tackle problems, resolve issues, answer questions, and arrange service.

Listen to your customers.

Follow every single one of your Followers because those are your customers and they are sharing everything about their demographic with you.
