Don&#8217;t make your hashtag too long; make it short and to the point. As a rule of thumb, try not to use more than two per Tweet.</span></div><div style="font-style: normal;">&nbsp;</div><div style="font-style: normal;"><span style="  vertical-align: baseline;">2.</span><span style="   vertical-align: baseline;"> </span><span style="  vertical-align: baseline;"><strong>Engagement is key.</strong></span><span style="   vertical-align: baseline;"> </span><span style="  vertical-align: baseline;">You follow people and have followers for a reason. Pay attention to them! Tag other Twitter handles in your posts, respond to people&#8217;s Tweets, favorite people&#8217;s Tweets, and Retweet Tweets that are relevant to your brand.</span></div><div style="font-style: normal;">&nbsp;</div><div style="font-style: normal;"><span style="  vertical-align: baseline;">3.</span><span style="   vertical-align: baseline;"> </span><span style="  vertical-align: baseline;"><strong>Deal with customer and client feedback in a timely manner.</strong></span><span style="  vertical-align: baseline;"> Your Twitter feed fills up quickly because users are constantly Tweeting, and it can be easy to miss a customer&#8217;s comment or Tweet. But, it&#8217;s important to respond to any feedback, whether good or bad. Make sure to check your account several times per day and pay attention to your &#8220;notifications&#8221; button.

Sometimes, it&#8217;s better to let your images do the talking. Connect with your design team to create fun infographics and images that your followers will love.</span></div><div style="font-style: normal;">&nbsp;</div><div style="font-style: normal;"><span style="  vertical-align: baseline;">5. </span><span style="  vertical-align: baseline;"><strong>Consider promoting Tweets</strong></span><span style="  vertical-align: baseline;"><strong>.</strong>&nbsp;</span><span style="  vertical-align: baseline;"><a href="https://support.twitter.com/articles/142101-what-are-promoted-tweets?utm_source=1851franchise.com&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=5-tips-to-boost-your-twitter-footprint-1903" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Promoted Tweets</a> are a great opportunity for your brand to reach followers it otherwise wouldn&#8217;t reach, because they can target followers who don&#8217;t follow your account. They are labeled as &#8220;promoted&#8221; and have the same Retweet, favorite, and commenting abilities as organic Tweets do. At first, try promoting one or two Tweets, study your results, and adjust your strategy from there.</span></div><div style="font-style: normal;">&nbsp;</div><div style="font-style: normal;"><span id="docs-internal-guid-818265db-20ec-aa3b-a664-18a171c8f521"><p dir="ltr" style="1.38;0pt;0pt;"><span style="  vertical-align: baseline; ">Now that you&#8217;ve got these 5 tips, your brand should have no problem creating an engaging, effective Twitter account.</span></p></span></div><div style="font-style: normal; line-height: normal;">&nbsp;</div><div style="font-style: normal; line-height: normal; ">&nbsp;</div> <div style="font-style: normal; line-height: normal; "></div><div style="font-style: normal; line-height: normal; ">&nbsp;</div>
