Why Every Business Needs To Use Twitter

by Scott Bartell on

I was pondering the importance of Twitter in business today and came up with 3 reasons why every business needs a Twitter account. Tweet me if I’m missing anything or if you think I’m wrong!

To Improve The Image of Their Brand

  • Used as a Feedback Avenue - allows the company to reply to customer feedback in a meaningful way.
  • Responsiveness - allows the company to respond to complaints as they happen, rather than after.
  • Public Exposure of Remedies - allows for free publicity of how the company treats its customers.
  • Person Behind the Brand – allows the company to put a person behind their business creating closer relationships with customers.
  • Transparency – allows the company to be completely open and honest with customers.

To Leverage the Value of The Property

  • The Value of the Followers - allows the company to convey a message across an entire network of interested customers.
  • Getting Closer To Customers – allows the company to go to where their customers are rather than waiting for them to come to the company.

To Provide Social Connectivity and Brand Exposure

  • Spreading the Word – provides followers with the opportunity to share information about the company with their friends through the following: Retweets, Potential free celebrity endorsements, and @YourCompany showing up on millions of feeds.
