Tweeting your Blog

Now that we have spoken on the value of adding Twitter to your business, let’s talk specifics on how to make the two connect.

We’ve had a very successful quarter at our little café. We now have a collection of regular customers, some we have gotten through our Tweets. What we’d like to do is to increase customer awareness of our products and to get some feedback as to what they’d like in a coffee shop. First on our list is to schedule regular Tweets to go out advertising our blog. Here is a how to video that will tell you more.



Next, we need to set up our blog for customer interaction. Here’s one really easy way- Simply post a question such as,

Good morning, my fellow bean-heads! It’s always coffee time here at Fresh Brewed, and there are some awesome deals brewing just for you! Our featured product this week is a mocha latte’ with a twist- of peppermint that is! Just mention that you read it on the blog- and it is FREE! Just tell them Larry sent you. Now that’s hot!!

Hey- while you’re here- What Fresh Brewed products have you tried lately? What would you like to see in the café? Oh, and don’t forget to take the poll on the left side of the page!

Thanks!

Finally, be sure to update your blog regularly. A blog is meant to be socially interactive. You cannot interact if your readers aren’t interested in coming back. Updates can be planned in advance, allowing you to create your posts for the next month or so, then walk away to let Blogger do the rest. By connecting your blog with Twitter, you can generate more activity on your blog, which translates into brand recognition, product awareness, customer community, and improved profits.
