Twitter is a very interesting and fun social platform. Tweeting is definitely an art and Integrative Waves is exploring all the ins and outs and ways of tweeting. 140 characters total helps one to communicate precisely, creatively, and without verbosity!
However, an important consideration for Integrative Waves is the purpose for being on Twitter. How can Twitter be used most effectively to promote Integrative Waves? The question is WHO to follow and HOW to find them!
So lots of decisions....
I used both the search and advanced search functions to search for different people and businesses to follow. It was an interesting but a bit frustrating task working out the keywords and search terms. Perseverance was definitely needed!
The first word I used was 'Facials' since Integrative Waves performs many types of facials. This was NOT the best word as I found out - a few of the first tweets to appear were very graphically tweeting about a different type of facial - related to sex! Hmm, I thought, probably not the best word for Integrative Waves to use....
The search words I ended up using were 'Lipedema', 'Clinical Aromatherapy', 'Lymphedema', 'Professional Skin Care', 'Beauty in San Diego', and 'Lymphatic Drainage'. These search words are all related to the business practices of Integrative Waves.
The people and businesses found and chosen to follow were a diverse range. Focusing on San Diego first, one was a local competitor, another a friend and holistic business owner, and yet another was a potential client. Others were an aromatherapy school, an authority on Lipedema, a specialist in Lymphedema, and a skin care school owner who is on the California Board of Cosmetology.
Decisions made but now I need to assess.......
Is this a good group to follow? Have I chosen well? Will they help my business grow? Will their tweets be interesting? Will I be able to 'retweet' them for my clients or use their information in other ways?
Many questions with no answers at present. After decisions, patience is next......
