People are coming to social networking sites to hang out and converse with people, not to
come a buy the next latest and greatest product. This will turn off your followers and they
will be dropping off by the dozens if you do otherwise.
Make Sure To Thank Your New Followers - this is a great relationship builder to
incorporate from the get-go. When you have a new follower that is starting to follow you,
send them a message thanking them for becoming a follower.
You would be surprised out how many people take to receiving a message and will start to
build their trust with you as well as gives them a good first impression of you as well. A lot of
people don't use this technique, however for those who have, they have found that their
relationships build faster just by dropping a simple hi to their new follower. This will also help
you stand out above the crowd, since many marketers do not practice this helpful technique
for relationship building.
The “Tweet-deck” Program - This is a program that will help show your followers your
updates, replies, as well as direct messages... all in one! This is a great tool to use to keep
up with what your friends and potential customers are talking about, where you can easily
interact with them and vise versa.
This unique program also refreshes itself instantly, so you get updated information literally
when it is updated by your follower. There are also many other features included in this
program, all of which can be a great benefit to growing your relationship with your followers
and of course your potential customers.

using Twitter as a marketing strategy. Remember that this is a social networking site, so you
want to make sure that you keep it that way and that you use it to your advantage when it
comes to generating traffic to your website or services.

have a good customer relationship and is no different when it comes to an online business as
well. So using the helpful social networking site, Twitter, can help you not only build a lasting
relationship with your potential customers, but also allows you to be able to reach out to a
ton of other potential followers and customers at a “viral” rate.
