Updating Twitter Marketing and advertising for 2016 Fads

It may sound weird to use a Facebook feature to Twitter marketing, but it does add up. Local business owners can now publish blogs and articles right to Facebook through their Instant Articles application. Twitter will be answering by testing out something similar in 2016. By trying out Instant Articles now, you will know what things to expect, in regards to marketing, when Twitter's version turns into a reality.

Consider Posting Articles Right To Facebook

While it seems contradicting to use Facebook to marketing with Twitter, it actually seems sensible in this case. Facebook has introduced Instant Articles, which allow small business owners to publish text content directly to the social media giant. As it turns out, Twitter is also making the move towards this style of content creation. Employing Instant Articles on Facebook now will help you discover the changes you will need to make when Twitter rolls out a similar tool.

Use Twitter for Client Service

Consumers will overlook many benefits of your competitors if they get a more personal experience with your company. While it can often be difficult to always be around to respond to customer questions, wants and complaints, Twitter makes it far easier. Make sure you have Twitter on your mobile device set to transmit alerts. When someone interacts with your business, take the time to respond. Not many marketing strategies can outpace great service.

Set Up Online Sales Infrastructure

Maybe you have not had the time or money to set up a “shopping cart” on your website. Thanks to Twitter, though, you will have the option to sell online in 2016. The site is rolling out a ‘Buy Now' function on Tweets, so this means your Twitter marketing strategies will come replete with the ability to immediately make a sale. In other words, start updating your Twitter strategy now.

Twitter has long been a marketing tool for corporations who understand offline marketing is slowing down. In 2016, though, new trends with the site will make the site indispensable to advertisers.
