WILLS LIFESTYLE on Twitter

Unlike Facebook, Twitter accepts .gif files for the display pictures. Keep updating with different GIFs. These could be a collage of models wearing WL creations, or only the creations sans any models. On a timeline consisting of static images, the normal eye would instantly go to a dynamic and colourful display picture.

During any WLIFW event, keep live tweeting about the event. This will keep the fans, who couldn’t attend the show, hooked on to the page.

Live tweets should consist of text + related photos.During the WLIFW event, let hashtags like #wlifw or

#ifw trend.Tweet links to articles in newspaper dailies or

magazines that have featured interviews of WL officials or designers associated with the brand and WLIFW.

When a particular designer is showcasing his/her creations on the ramp, add the designer’s Twitter handle in the tweets. The designer will retweet the tweets and photos of his/her creations, making them visible to his/her followers.

Ensure that every question asked by any ‘follower’ of the brand does not go unnoticed and is gracefully and promptly responded to.

Take special care to avoid any online wars with any of the clientele. Avoid causing an ‘Ayesha Takia vs Kingfisher’ type of inconvenience. Real or Virtual, Image is Everything!

When looking to increase user base, eyeballs are necessary. The more, the merrier. Tweets, retweets, adding celebrity Twitter handles ensure the same.
