The use of Twitter is growing in popularity and many large corporations are taking advantage of this new niche market and reaching out to potential and current consumers through a series of online ads on these sites. Everything from breaking company news to special promotions and coupons can be “Tweeted” about and posted on the site, and there are a number of applications and services to make this easier on your company. One of the most popular applications and services for Twitter is TwitPic. You can use this online application to share pictures and videos on Twitter. By using this application, you will be able to send pictures or videos from your cell phone or even by email. Because Twitter is in real-time, people will be able to see what is going on currently with either yourself or your company. You have to already have a Twitter account and go to TwitPic and register to use a program called API. This will enable you to upload any photos or videos and post them to your Twitter page. Once you have registered with TwitPic, the application will be able to read Tweets for your timeline, see who you follow, update your profile and post new Tweets for you. This will further enable your business to keep current with news and events. Of course, this is but an example of how social media sites can be used for marketing the products and services of small businesses. And that should the market for social media marketing continue to grow in popularity as suggested by Online PR News, many small businesses can begin to use this inexpensive resource to help grow their businesses regardless of whether they develop specific promotions or choose to use social media in a more general way such as highlighting the company’s products or services. As you begin to develop and/or expand your presence on the Internet for your business consider this: Websites and/or services like Twitter are good solutions to help jumpstart your marketing campaigns online. However, you will need to develop more comprehensive strategies, since no one way will work for all businesses as you begin to build a customer base that you can then market to online on a regular basis. As stated earlier in this series, in order to rise above the crowd you will need more than just a website. Therefore, implementing several Internet based solutions over the next 12-24 months will be critical to the long term success for virtually every small and local business in America.
