What is social media?
Social media is simply a
conversation happening online.
So what is Twitter?
Twitter is a website.
Twitter is public e-mail.
Twitter is a blog on speed.
Twitter is the first draft of history.
Twitter is more than tweeters.
910 million
people visit Twitter.com
every month.
145 million
have Twitter accounts.
Twitter is not only for youngsters.
The average age of all
social network users is
37 years old.
The average age of all
Facebook users is
38 years old.
The average age of all
Twitter users is
39 years old.
Post-Dispatch daily circulation:
213,472
Active Twitter accounts in STL:
220,364
So how do I get started?
Develop a strategy.
What goals do you hope to
achieve using Twitter?
What are your measurements for
success?
Follow examples of businesses
doing it right.
Customer service
Product Promotion and Sales
Crisis Management
Event Promotion
Issue Advocacy
Twitter do’s and don’ts.
Don’t make it all about you.
Don’t phone it in.
Don’t ignore the obvious.
Do be yourself.
Do share your passion.
Do have fun.
Questions?
