As your consumers are present online, it only makes sense to bring your business to them.\u00a0Twitter allows your business to interact with your consumer in a number of ways. In fact, over time consumers can also become friends. Effective twitter marketing is founded upon clear, concise communication.<\/p>\n<p>As a B2B marketer, enhancing communication is one of the best ways to help your business grow. If your business has Twitter but you aren&#8217;t sure how to make it work your advantage, this post can help. \u00a0Below we outline the cornerstones for effective Twitter marketing for B2B relationships, step by step.<\/p>\n<h2>Personalize Your Brand<\/h2>\n<p><span data-offset-key=\"a6jes-0-0\">First things first. Your Twitter should be an extension of your brand. <\/span><span class=\"hardreadability\"><span data-offset-key=\"a6jes-1-0\">This means it offers extra information but always leads back to your site, products, or services<\/span><\/span><span data-offset-key=\"a6jes-2-0\">. In your Twitter bio, include relevant information about your company such as your location and a link to your main site. You can also include the handles of members of your company to boost engagement and visibility.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-offset-key=\"a6jes-2-0\">Each tweet should invite your followers to engage with it. Make the tweet appealing in some way. You can do this through fun and informal language, or by sharing an image, video, link, or gif. These additions make followers more likely to &#8220;like,&#8221; &#8220;retweet,&#8221; or even reply to your tweet. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-offset-key=\"a6jes-2-0\">These are all reactions you want. They portray how well your brand is doing with B2B relations in a way that is easy to understand.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-offset-key=\"a6jes-2-0\">Make sure you avoid automated tweets. While these are useful, they are impersonal and your followers can tell. No one wants to interact with a fully-automated Twitter mechanism. <\/span><span data-offset-key=\"a6jes-2-0\">\u00a0Try to avoid sending out automated messages as much as possible as well. Instead, when you get a new follower or reply, personally thank or respond to them.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-offset-key=\"a6jes-2-0\"> Remember that personalization is key. Your Twitter shouldn&#8217;t be a bot.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Know Your B2B Audience<\/h2>\n<div class=\"\" data-block=\"true\" data-editor=\"iv7\" data-offset-key=\"a6jes-0-0\">\n<div class=\"public-DraftStyleDefault-block public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr\" data-offset-key=\"a6jes-0-0\"><span data-offset-key=\"a6jes-0-0\">Use Twitter to get to know and understand your audience. Learn what they want, what the need, and what they&#8217;re looking for in a B2B consumer. You can do this the following ways: <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"\" data-block=\"true\" data-editor=\"iv7\" data-offset-key=\"3b3lf-0-0\">\n<div class=\"public-DraftStyleDefault-block public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr\" data-offset-key=\"3b3lf-0-0\"><span data-offset-key=\"3b3lf-0-0\">\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<ul class=\"public-DraftStyleDefault-ul\" data-offset-key=\"742bc-0-0\">\n<li class=\"public-DraftStyleDefault-unorderedListItem public-DraftStyleDefault-reset public-DraftStyleDefault-depth0 public-DraftStyleDefault-listLTR\" data-block=\"true\" data-editor=\"iv7\" data-offset-key=\"742bc-0-0\">\n<div class=\"public-DraftStyleDefault-block public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr\" data-offset-key=\"742bc-0-0\"><span class=\"hardreadability\"><span data-offset-key=\"742bc-0-0\">Focus on Your Target Community: You can define and focus your target audience by establishing leads<\/span><\/span><span data-offset-key=\"742bc-1-0\">. You create your leads by researching what your B2B customers want and need. Think of how your product or service can solve a problem for them and tailor your tweets around that. This is also known as creating a <a href=\"https:\/\/directiveconsulting.com\/ca\/keyword-strategy-important-seo\/\">keyword strategy<\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"public-DraftStyleDefault-unorderedListItem public-DraftStyleDefault-depth0 public-DraftStyleDefault-listLTR\" data-block=\"true\" data-editor=\"iv7\" data-offset-key=\"6sn3l-0-0\">\n<div class=\"public-DraftStyleDefault-block public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr\" data-offset-key=\"6sn3l-0-0\"><span data-offset-key=\"6sn3l-0-0\">Interact, Observe, Analyze: Once you&#8217;ve identified leads, interact with them. Follow them, tweet at them, and make yourself known. You should also follow their own business accounts to establish a connection. Once you&#8217;ve done this, observe and analyze their own tweets. Read them, study them, and pay attention to them. This will help you see how your targeted leads use Twitter. With this information, you&#8217;ll know how to <\/span><span class=\"adverb\"><span data-offset-key=\"6sn3l-1-0\">effectively<\/span><\/span><span data-offset-key=\"6sn3l-2-0\"> interact with them.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/business.twitter.com\/en\/analytics.html\">Twitter Analytics <\/a>is a useful tool to help you accomplish this step. It allows you to see what content consumers engage with most, what garners the most responses, and what needs work, and even track conversions. With this tool, you can also promote tweets and cast a wider net when you share something new. It&#8217;s a great way to stay in touch and make further connections.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-12247 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/directiveconsulting.com\/ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2014\/05\/Screenshot-83-300x163.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"366\" height=\"199\" srcset=\"https:\/\/directiveconsulting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2014\/05\/Screenshot-83-300x163.png 300w, https:\/\/directiveconsulting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2014\/05\/Screenshot-83-1024x558.png 1024w, https:\/\/directiveconsulting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2014\/05\/Screenshot-83-768x418.png 768w, https:\/\/directiveconsulting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2014\/05\/Screenshot-83-1536x836.png 1536w, https:\/\/directiveconsulting.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/11\/2014\/05\/Screenshot-83.png 1908w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 366px) 100vw, 366px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Talk Back<\/h2>\n<div class=\"\" data-block=\"true\" data-editor=\"3lh2c\" data-offset-key=\"da6f5-0-0\">\n<div class=\"public-DraftStyleDefault-block public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr\" data-offset-key=\"da6f5-0-0\"><span data-offset-key=\"da6f5-0-0\">Interaction is a large part of your <a href=\"https:\/\/business.twitter.com\/en\/advertising\/campaign-types.html\">Twitter campaign&#8217;s<\/a> success. As you gain followers, you must interact with them. This establishes a relationship and helps your consumers feel connected.\u00a0<span class=\"hardreadability\">Interacting with your followers makes them more likely to engage with you and your business<\/span>. For B2B marketers, this level of interaction is important for building consumer relationships.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"\" data-block=\"true\" data-editor=\"3lh2c\" data-offset-key=\"oorn-0-0\">\n<div class=\"public-DraftStyleDefault-block public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr\" data-offset-key=\"oorn-0-0\"><span data-offset-key=\"oorn-0-0\">\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"\" data-block=\"true\" data-editor=\"3lh2c\" data-offset-key=\"48qpe-0-0\">\n<div class=\"public-DraftStyleDefault-block public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr\" data-offset-key=\"48qpe-0-0\"><span data-offset-key=\"48qpe-0-0\">Talking back means replying to direct tweets and direct messages <\/span><span class=\"adverb\"><span data-offset-key=\"48qpe-1-0\">personally<\/span><\/span><span data-offset-key=\"48qpe-2-0\">. It means retweeting some followers or even tweeting to them first.

While it is <\/span><span class=\"adverb\"><span data-offset-key=\"a6jes-1-0\">primarily<\/span><\/span><span data-offset-key=\"a6jes-2-0\"> a platform for text, you can add other media to those 140 characters. If you have a service, product, or piece of information you want to promote, adding some type of media is a great way to do so.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"hardreadability\"><span data-offset-key=\"a6jes-3-0\">Instead of repeating your own tweets, pull pieces of info from past articles and blog posts and turn them into<a href=\"https:\/\/directiveconsulting.com\/ca\/services\/content\/infographics\/\"> infographics<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/directiveconsulting.com\/ca\/learn\/videos\/\">videos<\/a>, or an image<\/span><\/span><span data-offset-key=\"a6jes-4-0\">. Then, share this improved info with your followers. <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.bufferapp.com\/twitter-images\">Research <\/a>has found that tweets with visuals earn 150% more retweets and 18% more clicks. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Keep Your Campaign on a Schedule<\/h2>\n<p>Though automated tweets should not be used, you can still schedule some tweets. This gives you time to focus on other aspects of your business while knowing that Twitter is still up and running. Automatic tweeting is especially useful for certain tweets that don&#8217;t need\u00a0much personalization. Using your <a href=\"https:\/\/business.twitter.com\/en\/help\/campaign-editing-and-optimization\/scheduled-tweets.html\">Twitter tool<\/a>, you can set certain tweets to a schedule. These tweets include:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"public-DraftStyleDefault-ul\" data-offset-key=\"bsv62-0-0\">\n<li class=\"public-DraftStyleDefault-unorderedListItem public-DraftStyleDefault-reset public-DraftStyleDefault-depth0 public-DraftStyleDefault-listLTR\" data-block=\"true\" data-editor=\"iv7\" data-offset-key=\"bsv62-0-0\">\n<div class=\"public-DraftStyleDefault-block public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr\" data-offset-key=\"bsv62-0-0\"><span class=\"hardreadability\"><span data-offset-key=\"bsv62-0-0\"><strong>Landing Page Tweets<\/strong>: Landing page tweets, or tweets that link back to your site or blog, are perfect for auto-pilot<\/span><\/span><span data-offset-key=\"bsv62-1-0\">. Make sure to check the links to make sure they work. To take your campaign to a new level, consider creating custom landing pages. If your landing page tweets link back to the same site pages, you B2B consumers may get bored. If they see you have created a page that ties into your Twitter campaign, it shows more engagement. This works great for promotions, B2B marketing campaigns, and more.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"public-DraftStyleDefault-unorderedListItem public-DraftStyleDefault-depth0 public-DraftStyleDefault-listLTR\" data-block=\"true\" data-editor=\"iv7\" data-offset-key=\"4aj20-0-0\">\n<div class=\"public-DraftStyleDefault-block public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr\" data-offset-key=\"4aj20-0-0\"><span class=\"hardreadability\"><span data-offset-key=\"4aj20-0-0\"><strong>Static Tweets<\/strong>: Static tweets are those that mention something newsworthy, ask a question, or start a conversation<\/span><\/span><span data-offset-key=\"4aj20-1-0\">. You can plan such tweets in advance so they will post <\/span><span class=\"adverb\"><span data-offset-key=\"4aj20-2-0\">automatically<\/span><\/span><span data-offset-key=\"4aj20-3-0\">.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"public-DraftStyleDefault-unorderedListItem public-DraftStyleDefault-depth0 public-DraftStyleDefault-listLTR\" data-block=\"true\" data-editor=\"iv7\" data-offset-key=\"8evt2-0-0\">\n<div class=\"public-DraftStyleDefault-block public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr\" data-offset-key=\"8evt2-0-0\"><span data-offset-key=\"8evt2-0-0\"><strong>Informative Tweets<\/strong>: Schedule tweets meant to share insight or info about your industry. Informative tweets should be original in thought and composition. This establishes you as a <a href=\"https:\/\/directiveconsulting.com\/ca\/learn\/thought-leadership\/\">thought leader <\/a>in the industry. B2B leads you&#8217;re interested and other organizations\u00a0will be more likely to engage with these tweets.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span data-offset-key=\"a6jes-0-0\">Some tweets are not right for automatic Twitter campaigns. <\/span><span class=\"hardreadability\"><span data-offset-key=\"a6jes-1-0\">Tweets about breaking news stories related to your industry should be personal and timely<\/span><\/span><span data-offset-key=\"a6jes-2-0\">. <\/span><span class=\"hardreadability\"><span data-offset-key=\"a6jes-3-0\">Share your thoughts and ideas about the subject instead of sharing a pre-prepared thought that doesn&#8217;t line up<\/span><\/span><span data-offset-key=\"a6jes-4-0\">. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-offset-key=\"a6jes-4-0\">Conversational tweets, replies, and retweets should never be automatic, either. These tweets must be active and interactive. Keep this in mind and be discerning when making your Twitter campaign.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Drive Traffic to Your Brand&#8217;s Content<\/h2>\n<div class=\"\" data-block=\"true\" data-editor=\"iv7\" data-offset-key=\"a6jes-0-0\">\n<div class=\"public-DraftStyleDefault-block public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr\" data-offset-key=\"a6jes-0-0\"><span data-offset-key=\"a6jes-0-0\">Your Twitter marketing campaign should drive traffic back to your brand.
