Want a free, easy way to keep customers “in the loop?” Use Twitter to connect – even with so-called – “non-Twitterers.”
1. Create a Twitter account for your business. (Want to know more about how to do this for optimum success? Check out our webinar.)
2. At every point of contact, let folks know to TEXT/SMS message: “Follow YourTwitterHandle” to 40404. That’s no quotes, the word FOLLOW, a single space, then YOUR twitter handle. For example, if you were to follow me, you would text Follow ResultsRev to 40404.
3. Tweet out the insider info you’ve promised and it’ll get delivered, free of charge, straight to your customers and prospects cell phones.
I mean, what if the sign in this picture above instead said:
Shop Local. Text 40404
Follow MisterTAwards
It’s that easy… there’s really nothing else required of your customer or prospect AT ALL.
What are some other points of contact (besides exterior signage or billboards) where you can tell folks how to do this?
- Events – handouts, signage or verbal instructions
- Bag stuffers in your store
- Check presenters in your restaurant
- Point of sale signage
- E-mail marketing, web site graphics, posts on your Facebook wall
There are endless opportunities – don’t miss them! This is a marketing tip that really is THAT easy…
