How Small Business Owners Make the Most of Twitter

To remain competitive, small business owners with limited resources must be careful about which social media platforms they invest their time and money into. They must also take full advantage of those platforms using them to their greatest potential. Twitter can be a smart investment of marketing dollars for those looking to gain more followers and further their brand image. But a professional Twitter account is only as useful as the person running it. A strategy for success must be implemented to get winning results from your efforts.

Here are some tips for getting the most from your Twitter account:
– Have a strong profile. Make sure your account is setup completely and includes a high quality version of your logo and a link to your other social media sites and website.
– Run a contest and have others enter by following you.
– Let others know how to find your Twitter handle. Include a link to your Twitter account on other social media accounts, your website, and in the footer of emails.
– Retweet industry-related news and other interesting online content. This is an easy way to keep your profile current and active.

Gaining High Quality Followers Not all followers are created equal. In fact, some efforts are more likely to draw in low quality followers – those without a true connection or loyalty to your brand. And that\’s ok. But at the same time it is important to focus efforts on gaining high quality followers too. High quality followers are ones which truly like your brand and product and are invested in a partnership with you. There are no quick fixes to increasing this type of audience but some strategies can help such as frequent engagement with them. Reciprocity can also be an effective tool for gaining higher quality followers.

Grand Marketing Solutions has been very effective for us. They are the right size firm with the right mix of talents. They spruced up our logo, redesigned our web site, printed new literature, and worked smoothly with our people.

Before starting Business Image Magazine, I met with dozens of graphic designers/printers and worked with a couple before I met Karl Hofmeier of Grand Marketing Solutions. I heard Karl speak at a networking event and was impressed with his expertise. Since then, Grand Marketing Solutions has become my one stop shop for marketing advice, graphic design, printing, website design and maintenance. The service is second to none and I am happy to refer all my clients and prospects to him.

We are proud to be partners with GMS. As an entrepreneur and small business owner, I value a relationship with a partner who is cut from the same mold. Grand Marketing Solutions understands what it takes to keep our company competitive in a ever changing market. They ask the right questions and treat our business as it was their own. With Grand Marketing Solutions as our partner we can focus on our core business while they execute on our marketing strategy. We've been with a handful of marketing firms over the years. Some were large, some were small, but none of them have had the impact that Grand Marketing Solutions has.
