Common Marketing Goals for For-Profit Businesses

According to “The Social Media Marketing Workbook 2016” Twitter provides various marketing goals for many for-profit business. By simply using social media businesses can reach and connect with their publics in new and innovative ways. Twitter is just one way that this connection can be reached. Below are five useful purposes for Twitter or many businesses consider them to be their common marketing goals for Twitter itself.

Stay Top of Mind/One Touch to Many
Use Twitter to continually remind users that follow you about your company, product, and/or service. This simple action can allow various relationships to build and strengthen.

Insider/Loyalty Programs
If you are a brand with a core group of loyal customers, you can use Twitter to stay in touch with this elite group and reward them with insider information, tips, special deals and even coupons. Once again, you will be building relationships and reaching out to your consumers in new ways.

Coupons/Bargains
If you decide to use coupons or discounts, especially in retail, customers commonly scan Twitter for coupons and special deals. This is a very cheap and effective way to reach your consumers and reach them in a new environment compared to the typical paper versions.

On-Going Discussions
Use hashtags (#) to participate in on-going global conversations, which in return will help to market your products or service. A special case of this is trade shows, which often use a hashtag to allow participants to converse via Twitter. By allowing your consumers to engage with one another relationships are continuing to be built once again.

News Alerts
If your company likes to send out news or important information Twitter is key for breaking news. With Twitter being a very fast-paced social media channel this allows a great opportunity to release information as it occurs and reach your publics very quickly and effectively.

Overall, Twitter is a great way for businesses to build relationships and in turn gain a profit from their consumers. Have businesses influenced or reached you in any of these ways? I would love to hear your thoughts. Feel free to comment below!

The End is Near

One of my first blog posts was about why I chose Ohio Northern University to be my home for the next four years of my life. I cannot believe that time has gone by so fast. I am not typically one to get very emotional, but there is something about leaving a large piece of you behind and moving on to the next thing. I decided to close out my final blog post with things that I took away from the year as I only have about a week left of my freshman year. Time Moves Faster Than You Think No matter how many pictures were taken, time will only continue forward and it seems to be moving faster. Before you know it college will simply be a small piece of your life with amazing memories that will last you a lifetime. Enjoy each moment while you have it, because time truly does go by fast. You Don’t Have To Be The Same Person You Were in High School Wow, this could not be any truer. This can be who you associate with, the type of grades you get and even clubs or organizations you join

Spring Has Sprung!

I don’t know about you, but I am absolutely LOVING this spring weather! I enjoy being able to open the window in my dorm to let in fresh air, go for walks around the green monster and of course being able to wear all my spring clothes that have been in the back of my closet for too long. Well the time is here! I decided I would share one of my favorite things to wear during the spring! Birkenstocks! Yes, I know they aren’t the most attractive pair of shoes, but they are actually VERY comfortable. Also, Birkenstock will repair your shoes if something is to happen to your beloved Birks or you have simply just worn-out certain parts of them. They are close to $100, but I think you can justify that price when you see all the great features and benefits that come with them. So, why wouldn’t you want a pair of sandals that are awesome for your feet versus your typical Old Navy black rubber flip flops? What is your favorite thing to wear in the spring? I wo
