Entering the world of Social Media isn't easy. Here, Thought by Design's in-house Social Media Strategist, Kate Winthrop, kick starts your entrance in to the world of Social Media with her Top 5 Tips for getting started on Twitter.
Tip 1:
Engage - it's social networking - talk with your followers, gage what your target market wants from you and ultimately improve your offering as a direct result.
Tip 2:
K.I.S.S - Keep It Simple & Searchable. Timely, relevant and simple tweets will position you as market leaders in your industry.
Tip 3:
Respond to complaints about your brand - ignoring them doesn't do you any favours and the quicker you're seen to deal with problems, the better.
Tip 4:
Give something back - Twitter is rife with people looking for "#competitions", "#giveaways" and any other hashtags relating to giveaways and the such. This boosts your following and in turn raises your profile.
Tip 5:
Create a calendar of daily features to be posted on Twitter. This gives your Twitter some structure and regularity - having this kind of structure in place ensures regular posting , even if the person in charge of your social media is absent.
