(Thank you Twitter!)
When a potential customer finds you on Twitter, that person usually goes on to take actions that
drive your business forward. This is especially true when potential customers decide to follow
your account. Not only is it possible that many of your followers have already purchased from
you, it’s also possible that they intend to purchase from you again in the future. And some may
even plan to purchase multiple times.
W
e hope this study helps you more fully understand the opportunity to connect with
your potential customers on Twitter. And that these potential customers want to
discover, hear from, and interact with your business.
