There are thousands of small, independent brick & mortar businesses facing overwhelming odds against survival. You’re not alone. Every hour is spent focused on the core needs of the business. There’s no time (or money) to waste; you have to make every moment count.
What if I told you that Twitter enables you to do just that? That there are hundreds of small businesses just like yours growing their business by spending just a few moments online each day?
Twitter is an extremely low-cost tool — both in terms of money and time — that can help you to not only survive, but to grow and thrive.
Many brick & mortar or main street businesses remain skeptical about using Twitter; they see it as a time-waster rather than a way to reach out to potential new customers or clients. They think it’s just about ‘what are you doing?’ rather than providing a valuable service to your existing customers. Twitter applications can be confusing, complicated and even scary.
What can Twitter do for you?
- Twitter helps you get the word out — for free — to an audience that may not know you exist.
- Twitter keeps your existing customers engaged — and coming back.
- Twitter attracts new customers and clients along the way. Targeted prospects — people that are interested in and looking for your products and services.
As a business owner you know that the best form of advertising is word-of-mouth. Using Twitter to promote your offerings not only provides a way for your communicate one-on-one with customers and prospects, it gives your readers the ability to spread the word and share it with their own readers, and on down the line.
I’ve put together this eCourse to introduce you Twitter, get you started, and provide you with an action plan to keep the momentum going. The text is complete with step-by-step instructions, annotated screen shots, a glossary and resource listings. Additionally, a series of 7 videos walking you through each step is available via email, as well as the accompanying MindMap.
The Twitter for Brick & Mortar Businesses eCourse will have you up and running and on your way to growing your business in under an hour, peeling away the layers of confusion and complexity and getting to the heart of Twitter’s core functionality. That allows you to put it to work immediately and start reaping the rewards.
This course is not long. It’s written for people whose primary focus is running their business and not spending time online surfing the web. There are accompanying videos broken down into small segments, making it easier to watch in the few moments between helping customers, stocking shelves, and processing payroll. The MindMap will serve as a quick reference and help you plan your strategy.
Twitter is free, as are many of the Twitter applications that make it easy to manage. And so is Twitter for Brick & Mortar Businesses.
