Social Media for Small Business: How Twitter Can Expand Your Brand's Presence?



Are you still contemplating if you need to build a presence for your brand in Twitter? The hesitation may come from the fact that the micro networking site seems really dynamic and everyone always has an opinion about anything.

You may have feared your brand getting criticized and be put in a bad spotlight and you don’t have the maneuvering skills to control or manage it. 

If this is the only reason why you are having second thoughts in creating your business page in Twitter, then it’s more important now than ever that you create one.

Why?

Because even if you don’t have a Twitter page, there are still people who are going to say negative things about your business and when you are not in there to officially defend your position, it could look worse from an outsider’s perspective.

Also, one of the main reasons why a lot of businesses are building their presence in Twitter is because it hugely help them expand their brand’s presence and reach out to new audiences.

How Twitter Can Help You Expand Your Brand’s Presence?

With an estimated monthly active users of around 335 million in the second quarter of this year, Twitter is among the top social networking sites worldwide wherein any businesses have the chance to expand their brand’s presence. So, how do you do it?

Here are 3 tips on how to expand your brand’s presence in Twitter which can help improve your traffic, and, ultimately bring in conversions or sales.

1. Reach Out to Influencers

Influencers in Twitter, especially those who actually use your product or subscribe to your services are the best ones that can help you amplify and expand your brand’s presence.

For example, you ask the help of influencers in the launching of the improved version of your reading app. You can give them the official hashtag which they can use when they review and tweet about it.

Your influencers should be book authors or famous book bloggers who have large number of followers.  Once they review and tweet about your app, there’s a high chance their followers will chime in and from there, your hashtag can potentially trend on top of Twitter’s top 10 and get the most engagement and views.

This can lead to high possibility of getting more downloads and in-app purchases for your reading app.

2. Conduct a Contest

If you have just started in Twitter and you need to boost the number of your followers, then conducting a contest can help you increase your following numbers.

The contest can be about who can create the most romantic short love story that you will feature in your reading app.  The winner will get a monetary reward and will be featured as one of your app’s rising authors.

In this contest, you are pointing your focus to your target audience, letting them join in (follow you in Twitter) and experience how it is to become part of your brand.  The rest follow through and before you know it, your followers are increasing as well as your presence and reach in Twitter.

3. Use Promoted Tweet

You can also try to gain wider attention and higher engagement for your content using Twitter’s Promoted Tweet.

Promoted Tweets are just ordinary tweets but instead of just appearing normally on your page and followers’ timeline, they appear on top of the top 10 trends and on other relevant parts of Twitter.  

Here’s how you can get started in promoting your tweet.

Final Thoughts

There are so many opportunities that you can’t just miss out in Twitter. 

Getting the hang of it and familiarizing how its portability fuels engagement among its users can help you figure out how you can use it to build highly engaged followers.  This can help expand your brand’s presence and improve your leads as well as increase your conversions.
