Using Twitter for your business is a very effective method of promotions, organization and sales. The idea of Twitter is so simple, a couple sentences blasted out to numerous followers. This technique helps you make announcements and broadcast them to your employees, partners and customers. Here are 5 ways to use twitter for your business:

1. Promote your upcoming products, reviews, promotions and any other information to your followers.
2. Post information about projects for your employees so that everyone can be up to date with what is going on in the workplace. This is especially effective if you have many employees who work from mobile offices, as they can check the twitter page every now and then to get an update on what is going on.
3. Auction products via twitter. Get customers to reply to you with their bids and whatnot. This will help everyone stay in the loop.
4. Use twitter for customer service. Allow customers to tweet you with their questions, and you can reply via twitter. Eventually this can turn into a Frequently Asked Questions column.
5. Build relationships with your clients, partners and employees. By using twitter, you are being more personal with these people and can build a good relationship. Your customers will feel like they know you and will stay in contact with you more. In turn, this will make it easier to promote and pitch products, resulting in more revenue for your business.

These are just a few ideas on how to use twitter to promote your business. For more information, check out the Social Media Fire eBook!
