“Theme-Tweeting”

The New Prodigy team has coined the term “theme-tweeting” (send all royalties directly to our office), also called “event-tweeting.” Simply stated, theme-tweeting is tweeting on a particular theme, topic, or concept, rather then random thoughts or musings.

Random thoughts are fine for personal tweeters but not for business tweeting. No one following you cares if you’re going for a double, half-cafe, decaf with a twist. They might however be interested in your experiences, challenges, and successes as a business; or perhaps the launch of a new product or service; or the development of a new partnership; or the experiences of a new client.

In other words, know your target audience.

To bang home the concept of theme-tweeting, New Prodigy is going to shine the light inward as we launch our latest online marketing campaign.

You can follow us on Twitter as NPMG owner/master-strategist/slave-master, John Kilbride, tweets on the how, what, when of our campaign and comments along the way as we struggle to survive and thrive as a small business, just like you, in these economic times.

When phrased in this manner your answer probably becomes less clear. How do you really know if your potential customer is thinking about you when the timing for them to buy your products or services are right for them (i.e. as opposed to thinking about a competitor)?

Unless you keep in consistent contact with your customer you are probably not on their radar and you may even need to reconsider if it is accurate to even call them a customer.

One of the best ways to stay in touch with your customers, or potential customers, is through an electronic newsletter (or e-newsletter).

Manage Your Email

Email is an outstanding tool of communication. It saves us valuable time by creating an efficient means to communicate with our customers, vendours and partners. However, like many “productivity tools,” if not monitored in the office, email can undermine productivity in the workplace.
