Twitter for Small Business: #Success

Michael DeMartin of Designsite writes about the benefits of small business using Twitter. Designsite is an award-winning design communications and consulting firm based in Fairfield CT.

With 400 million Tweets a day and 200 million active users, people turn to Twitter to bring them closer to the things they care about, whether it’s the news that affects their lives or the businesses down the block.

Twitter has an excellent Small Business website that explains how businesses can help your business, establish your brand personality, market and build you community. There are also great case studies that are relevant to all businesses.

They also explain the art of writing a good Tweet (keep it conversational, have fun with it and make it shareable). Also – very important to reach beyond your base – is to hashtag (#) keywords and include others (@) in your Tweets to reach a wider audience.
