Promotional Strategies For Twitter

February 27, 2012

Twitter serves as a great platform for spreading the word about your company or any new product launches that you may have. It is one of the cheapest ways of advertizing about your business and getting concrete returns in the form of enhanced sales and profits. Twitter has thousands of followers and daily visitors that help ensure that your promotional efforts are able to receive the maximum visibility online. The chances of generating word of mouth publicity are also greatly increased when Twitter is being used as a promotional tool. Many companies are realizing the importance of having a presence on Twitter instead of simply concentrating on social networking websites like Facebook. Some of the promotional strategies that can be used for advertizing on Twitter are:

  • The URL of your ecommerce website should be subtly incorporated into your Twitter feeds in ways that encourage users to explore your website. This helps makes potential customers aware of the existence of your company website that they can access in order to place orders for products or services.
  • The title of your Twitter profile must be chosen carefully depending on your company name or brand name that is popularly known among customers. Choosing vague profile names that do not say much about the brand you represent can lead to a decreased visibility level for your brand.
  • You should follow people related to your field of business or potential customers.
  • You can also keep a check on the trends prevalent on twitter and utilize those to market your services or products.
  • Certain keywords should be incorporated into your Twitter feeds so as to ensure that interested users are able to find their way to your profile page. The keywords that you choose to include must depend on research conducted using specialized software that helps you zero in on the most searched keywords. It must also be ensured that the keywords being used have a direct relationship with your business or product lines.
  • There are several profile management tools offered that can be used to make your interactions with the public more interesting and effective like cotweet, Hootsuite, etc.
  • Other useful applications like bulk messaging application can also be made use of in order to send direct information to users who may possibly be interested in your products.

Tips For Creating A Successful Newsletter

February 17, 2012

Sending newsletters to potential customers or existing customers is a popular way of promoting a business online.  A well-created newsletter can be helpful in substantially increasing the number of visitors to your e-commerce website and can also help translate these visits into sales thus leading to increased profits for your company. Using newsletters as a means of publicizing your business is quite an economical method of advertizement and involves very low costs. You can simply use your existing mailing lists to spread the word about new product launches or services that your company is going to be offering to customers. There are several factors that go into the creation of a successful newsletter that is not only engaging for customers but also incites them to visit your website and convert their interest into a tangible purchase. Some of the tips to help create a successful newsletter have been mentioned below:

  1. It is very important to write in a professional manner when creating a promotional newsletter. Making use of too many exclamation marks, making grammatical errors, etc. can end up putting off readers and dissuade them from visiting your website. Thus, it is important to hire well experienced and skilled content writers to come up with interesting and engaging content for your newsletter.
  2. The content that forms a part of the newsletter should be such that is useful in some way to the readers and provides certain concrete information about your business, products or services. A newsletter that seems to be going nowhere and has a generally unstructured format may not be a hit among readers. On the other hand, a well-organized newsletter that has something substantial to say and is able to convey meaningful information in a concise format can turn out to be quite successful.
  3. It is important to incorporate elements like your brand name or business logo in the newsletter to build familiarity with your business. A well placed logo also helps attract the attention of potential customers and enables them to identify your business instantaneously without having to read through written content.
  4. The frequency of your newsletters must be determined keeping in mind several parameters. The frequency must be just right and should not be so much that it ends up frustrating the recipients.
