Using Facebook and Twitter together for your business
While some will argue that Facebook and Twitter can never worktogether to achieve a common goal in terms of business, this notion isreally just a matter of professional adjustment. In online discussions,Facebook has been constantly related to personal contacts andupdates while Twitter is more widely known for its professionalpurposes. And for a time, that impression was true until Facebookcreated its Fan Page.
With a Fan Page, profiles can be professional and used forbusiness updates. Both continue to still have their own set ofadvantages of disadvantages though. As we have been discussing,Facebook can bring a social and emotional impact to your productmuch more naturally than Twitter can although it can also be subject to alot of unnecessary clutter.
Twitter, on the other hand, gives fast and easy updates. The concept ofmicroblogging can target a different market and can help you watchwhat competition is doing.
Moreover, these two can actually work together in getting moreprospects. After all, there are people who still continue to use Twitteralone and some who still prefer opening just their Facebook page. Somy question is, why not create two accounts to garner a wider market?
With both social networks, you as the account moderator shouldbe very careful as to what to what you post. Be mindful of postingpersonal issues and refrain from talking about business problems,disagreements and so on.
You should stick to things that your customers or potential customerswill be interested in such as project updates, product launches, usefullinks, updates from the official website, any news from events,conferences or meetings attended, sales, promos, incentives andpotential collaborations with clients are more preferable inclusions.
Remember that both are social networks and being a social network,you should provide a politely casual but not overly personal tone whenmaking Tweets and Facebook posts. Respond in a proper mannerwhen customers ask for assistance or make product inquiries.
It is also good to infuse some personality to your Tweets and pageupdates. Don’t just talk about products, services or company businessthe time. This will annoy followers and will even bore them.
There are several ways that you can link Twitter to Facebook inorder to better organize your updates. Twitter has an official pagewhich gives you instructions with a Twitter application that integratesthe two together. Similarly, there is also a Facebook application whichhelps organize Fan Page contacts directly to the Twitter account too.This way, you can be sure of the consistency of the news given.
By being consistently with your posts you can effectively put yourFacebook and Twitter accounts to work for your business. You can usethem both to drive traffic to your website through your marketing effortsby incorporating contests, exclusive news, articles and more. This way,you can gain maximum coverage from both sites.
