1. Let the Tweets Dance Across the Stage
Muriel MacDonald, writing for Tint tells how the SFBallet uses Twitter to attract and engage their younger audience members.
I’ve used Tint with many of my events. The social wall is easy to implement. Just fill in your followed accounts and hashtags, hook up your projector, and the Tint app displays your best engagement.
2. Mean Tweets
Follow Jimmy Kimmel’s example and use mean tweets to your advantage say Jeannie Walters of Steamfeed. Maybe the mean tweets are true and you need to improve your customer service. Or maybe they’re not and you can get a laugh.
3. Attract Local Customers By Enabling Location
Last month, Twitter announced a partnership with Foursquare that adds thousands of locations to the Twitter database.When tweeting for business via your smartphone, make certain to enable your business location reports Jake Kastrenakes.
4. No Negatives, I Repeat No Negatives!
My friend Shashi Bellamkonda, the Social Media Swami trains his employees on the Rules of Twitter, and insists, Never make negative tweets from the company account. Ever.
5. Vibrant, Colorful Tweets Win the Day

Use verbs! Humans find verbs much more interesting than nouns and they generate more click-thrus.

Don’t forget – when someone follows your business on Twitter, you’re not the only business they’re following. Do some research to find out what other business messages they see in their tweet stream. Do yours compare favorably or unfavorably?

My favorite tip is don’t use hashtags that aren’t relevant to your brand. I hate clicking on a link that is tagged with my neighborhood and find out it has nothing to do with us. Really!

Benchmark your Twitter Analytics. If you’re training for a triathalon, you keep accurate records of your effort and results. Do the same with Twitter – what is your posting schedule, how big is your following, with retweets – how great is your reach. I currently average a little more than 100,000 reach on Twitter every month. My goal is to increase that to 200,000 by the end of the year. I’l track my activity and see what works.

Mention your town in a tweet and you’re likely to get noticed by other tweeters in your town

Twitter is public – be careful that your retweets are something you’re willing to stand by, even if your boss or customer disagrees. If not – don’t be controversial. Remember the high level corporate executive who lost his job after videotaping himself giving grief to the fast food worker at Chic Filet
