Can Twitter Help Your Business?

 As technology advances and social media becomes more prominent as the years go by, more and more businesses are hopping onto these social media platforms to try to promote their business and build their brands. Is using social media the best way to do this? In my opinion, I think it is the best possible way to get your name and business out there nowadays.




Twitter currently has over 350 million active users. This is a hotspot for a business to promote their brands and help get their name out there. There have been many times where I am scrolling through my personal Twitter account and come across a product that I find interesting. I then go to the product's company website and looking deeper into the product. On some occasions, I have even bought the product that I saw on Twitter. This isn't just happening to me, this is happening to millions of people worldwide. Just one tweet can reach millions and millions of people which can work wonders for your company.

This also has a bad side. If the company or an employee of a company tweets something that is negative or poorly represents the company's standards that can be very detrimental to the program. This could cause so many problems such as losing the demand for your products and stock plumenting. However, if a company and its employees are smart and post only positive content on their pages they should be able to connect with millions of people around the globe to help build their brand. 79% of Twitter users are outside the US. 

Twitter is a great tool for businesses to connect with customers, no matter where on the globe they are. Just one post can reach an audience of millions and if they are smart with their content Twitter can be huge for building their brand.

    That’s a very good point about a bad Twitter post having a detrimental affect on a business. Everything about Twitter that helps amplify a post and bring attention to it quickly will also apply to bad posts. On other platforms where it takes longer for a post to go through its entire lifecycle there is a much larger period to delete a negative post before the impact is permanent. Even though Twitter posts last for a shorter period of time, it is important to be careful with what you post.

Chapter 1 Material

One of the biggest concepts I comprehended out of the content in chapter one of the introduction of social media is the different advantages and disadvantages of social media. I want to focus on the advantages. Some of the advantages of social media include being able to build your brand, communicating with family and friends, and capturing memories. The most important advantage from the chapter for me is being able to connect with family and friends while also collecting memories along the way. Family and friends are two of the biggest components of my life and they always will be. Being away from my family and friends during college can be very stressful. I am very guilty of relying on my mom and dad to do many things for me. Even though I am a sophomore now, I still am trying to adapt and settle in to do things on my own. Even though I struggle at times, the access to social media has given me the opportunity to connect with my family and friends so I feel like I have a little bit o...

PRSSA Meeting

 For one of my school assignments, we had to attend an event this week around campus with homecoming. Due to my busy schedule this weekend I chose to attend the PRSSA meeting Thursday night. There were some other events to pick from but with my schedule being very busy this was the only event that I could get to go to. In addition to just attending, we also had to live-tweet this event giving updates with key takeaways from the event. This isn't the most orthodox assignment for a class that I get to do, but it was actually pretty interesting. This PRSSA meeting was all about ethics. September is Ethics Month in this organization so it was only fitting that our meeting would be over ethics and how it ties into public relations. For this event, they brought in a couple of guest speakers. These guest speakers were Ronele Dotson and Jo Ann LeSage Nelson. They talked about different types of crises and walked us through different case studies with what they had to deal with. What I like...

Thanksgiving Break

 Right about this time in the semester I really fellow students and I really start to get warn out of school. Schoolwork right around this time always heats up. Many of my classes are holding exams this week which puts on added stress with all of my other activities going on. What I really want and what my of my classmates want to come sooner is Thanksgiving Break. I know I am ready for it. Every day I wake up I am exhausted because I was up late doing homework the night before. I am also on football so the time where I could be doing homework and catching up on some sleep, I am at football and devote my time to that. Even though many students are not in athletics I can tell many of them are mentally drained. Many students are starting to not give sufficient effort to homework or exams anymore because they are just tired of it. I know I fall right into that category. These are a couple reasons why I am ready for Thanksgiving break. Having the opportunity to go home for a week and b...
