2. Be there for the customer
• Too many brands manage their Twitter account round their office hours
• But what if your audience is more active after office hours?

3. Engage, don’t broadcast
• Twitter is NOT a broadcast medium
• Make sure your Tweet stream is a good mix of tweets, replies and retweets
• The more engaging your content, the more engagement you will receive

3. Follow Back• On average a brand follows between 10% and
30% of its followers
• Some brands have in house algorithms for choosing whom to follow but many just don’t
• Not all users know the .@ prefix . Without following a consumer, the brands may miss @ mentions.
• Following a user shows your brand cares about their opinion

Follow Back
4. Follow More• You can identify a potential audience through
listening for brand or relevant mentions
• However, if 40% all users never actually tweet, you are missing a % of the audience
• By identifying users that follow your competitors or cross referencing them against other accounts will give you a better understanding of potential customers by their actions, not words
• Some examples…
Follower overlap
for BA & El Al
By identifying the cross over
you can identify a
potentially more valuable
audience
5. Align your message!• Tweet streams need to be organic, delivering
value to your followers
• Successful tweet streams will also have some impact on search results
• So don’t forget to mention what you do!
