Twitter is a unique social platform in that it is simple and to the point yet many tools exist to better the tweep (people who tweet) experience. At a glance “Twitter is a real-time information network that connects you to the latest information about what you find interesting.” A user “follows,” or subscribes, to another user that they wish to receive feeds from.

Why Should I Tweet?

Tweets are in real time, updating to the second. The fast pace of Twitter is the reason many people use it via their mobile device and while at work.

Twitter can be used for many reasons such as entertainment, professional, personal and promotional usage. For the sake of this article we will stick to the benefits of business usage. If your business has information to be shared with customers or “followers” then Twitter is a great way to disseminate that information. Keep in mind that Twitter is not right for all businesses, but there may be an advantage for having an unexpected Twitter account.

Consider Twitter

If your business is not one someone would expect to see on Twitter then you may even be able to take advantage of that rarity. Say for instance you are a plumber; no one signs up for Twitter and searches for their plumber. However, you could create an account for entertainment purposes. Everyone has a million stories about “plumbers crack” and the awkwardness of plumbing issues. Make light of a boring business with humor and you will gain many followers. This is where you begin to promote. You’ve just made an ROI from social media marketing.

Of course it comes down to the one important thing in everyone’s life: time. You have a business to run and work to do, you don’t have enough time to effectively use Twitter for your business.
