Very few internet marketers are aware about Twitter cards because these are not heavily promoted. These are lead generation cards which are useful in increasing email sign ups from Twitter Page and this card can be added to any current social media marketing campaign going on in order to particularly target certain relevant demographic.
It’s very simple like a tweet and is very easy to create. So, next time try these twitter cards and increase as many contacts as you wish to.
Using Existing contact list to get more followers on Twitter:
Be it any email service provider like Yahoo!, Gmail etc, the existing email contact list can be used to increase twitter following. The most engaged email recipients can be added to twitter and they can be given opportunity to become brand ambassadors.
On the other hand, it’s also possible that less active email recipients can be easily engaged on twitter and these are the ones who prefer twitter the most. To add the list, select discover tab and there you will get an option saying “Find Friends”.

It should have simple design and distinguished the offers for every channel. Follow their twitter updates as well as Instagram pictures.
Stay updated about Social Conversations:
Several monitoring tools like Buffer must be used to stay updated about the recent social conversations and how they are using the product. Always try to refer to the basics and make most use of Facebook Audience Insights as well as Twitter’s Analytics Manager.
Using Facebook Audience Insights reveals that primary Facebook audience is between 25- 34 years old. Consumers between the age 25 -34 are more likely to use internet via mobile devices and so emails having click to share buttons make it easy to share blog posts on Facebook.
Allow consumers to know you properly:
Every customer may not get engaged quickly with the email content, give them sufficient time to choose how they wish to interact with you and this will help to get renowned with stronger brand loyalty.
Develop a preference centre which permits the customers to select how frequently they want to receive updates and notifications via emails. Social media is one of the ways to remove the gap of silence. Be it Facebook or Twitter, retargeting campaigns must be used to attract the customers.
Retargeting ads can be set up on Facebook using Ads Manager. Here’s the simple process to do so:
-
- Go to Ads Manager
