Question:
Is having a presence on Twitter.com good for my business image?
Answer:
If used properly, Twitter can help you showcase your expertise and differentiate yourself from the competition. It enables you to “communicate and stay connected with others through the exchange of quick, frequent answers to one simple question: What are you doing?” The key is to create a profile that makes people want to click your follow button and interact with you. It should succinctly explain what your business does, who you are, what you do, and what you like. Look at organizations similar to yours and see how they are using Twitter.
