Engage Twitter Audience With These Effective Boosting Tactics

How do you increase your visibility, your followers, and your sales? How can you reach your target audience without having to create a lot of content or relying on a content marketing team? How can you promote your business through unforced, natural-looking posts in social media?

Kris Ruby, the CEO of Ruby Media Group (a public relations and social media agency), wrote in her blog that according to studies, 72% of Twitter users are more likely to convert into buyers from businesses they follow compared to businesses they do not. But with only 140 characters to tantalize the viewer’s attention, Twitter requires more skills in establishing your company as an industry leader.

This is why learning the different tactics to help increase audience engagement is a weapon you must wield effectively before starting your Twitter campaign, or on any social media platform for that matter. Before we break down three of the most effective tactics there are today, let’s tap into how customer engagement is calculated.

How The Interactions Are Measured

From a post by Ana Gotter, she wrote: “Twitter Analytics can provide most of the reporting that you need. You can find your analytics by clicking on your profile picture in the right-hand corner and selecting ‘Analytics’ in the drop down. Under Twitter’s Analytics, you can see data on your:

• Number of impressions over a 28 day period.
• Your engagement rate over a 28 day period (which divides your number of engagement by your impressions).
• Which of your tweets got the most engagement.
• What types of engagement you’re getting (you can find this by clicking on specific tweets).
• Your average number of link clicks, retweets, likes, and replies a day.
• The number of video views your videos have gotten (this is still in beta).
• Conversion tracking, which will track interaction and responses to your Twitter Ads.”

Once you have these numbers on your computer screen you can begin to select which tactics will mostly help you ignite customer interaction that would certainly lead to sales conversion. Here are three of the top sales tactics we use at www.neovora.com/, try them out and see for yourself:

• Aim for a something memorable, unique, and relevant to the content.
