Last chance to save when you join us next Wednesday to learn about Twitter from BusinessWeek, Dream of Italy, and USAToday
If you’ve been using Twitter as a social media marketing channel in your business, or if you’re considering using it as a new marketing tool, we’ve put together an event for magazine, newsletter and newspaper publishers.
In fact we have three guest speakers from each, who will be joining us and sharing the strategies behind their own Twitter efforts.
While Mequoda will also be presenting case studies and research, here are just a few questions that we’ve asked our guest speakers to answer from their own experience using Twitter:
- How are you using Twitter in your online publishing business? Customer service? Marketing? Lead Generation? All three?
- Has Twitter proven itself as a legitimate marketing channel? How?
- What have been your successes and failures using Twitter?
- What tools do you use to track your Twitter success? What do you consider “success”?
- What key metrics do you track? How did you determine what to measure?
- How often do you update? What types of tweets do you send?
- How are you tweeting differently from others in your niche?
