Trouble with Twitter? Marketers use with care!

March 24th, 2009

As a marketer, I love the opportunities that social media platforms have brought to businesses of all sizes.

I enthusiastically embrace all the new social media tools and we encourage our clients to use them too – where appropriate.

Just because a tool exists does not mean that a business has to use it!

Twitter is a case in point. Used correctly, it is a very powerful CRM tool. Used badly, it will make a company appear ridiculous.

For an amusing video that makes this point very well see http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x8puil_twouble-with-twitter-soustitre_creation

    CRM stands for Customer Relationship Management. Twitter is being used by a number of major customers – such as Dell and British Airways – to keep in contact with their customers.

    Happy to send you more information on Twitter if you would like it.
