How You Can Use Twitter For Your Funeral Home
zcache="2" sizset="67">
Twitter is on fire. Oprah came on Twitter a few months back and it just went crazy. Lance Armstrong is really active on Twitter. People really get a sense of what he is up to. As a warning you can get lost in there so let yourself go in there in doses.
Many people are active on Twitter. Some people use Twitter more than they use their cell phones because that is the way they communicate within their network.
With the obit Twitter account there are some real advantages for exposure; especially for some of you who are near the Canadian/US border where there are tough winters and a lot of the people may snowbird and spend their winters down in Florida, California or Arizona. They may come to your website off and on to see who died over the winter and now the hip people can say, "I can follow the funeral home obituaries on Twitter? Awesome!"
You may think that you would rather have them visiting your website but really you want to communicate with them the way they want to be communicated with. Don't force them to do anything, instead make it easier for them because you are going to be driving people back to your website in that way.
Step by Step instructions
First of all you want to claim you handle or your @. You want to make sure that you reserve your funeral home. You may also want to claim your towns name and obits.
Go to Twitter.com and sign up for your 2 accounts
You have to use 2 different email addresses
Once you sign up you are going to Claim your Twitter handle: @YourFuneralHome & @[YourTown]Obits
Remember that it must be no more than 15 characters
Customize your settings
Seek & follow local community members with the "Find People" feature in Twitter itself.
All the media people will be there like reporters. You now have a direct link with them so you want to follow those people and then they might be following you back again. Do the same with other business and other people in your network. It shows that you are up with the times.
More people will probably follow the funeral home account than the obituary account but it is just another way to convey that information out to your community.
There is also website called "Twellow.com". You can go there and sign up for a free account. Login using your Twitter account and you can find people in your hobbies and your area. It is just a little easier to use than Twitter.
It is important to have a personal account too because in the long run we always have the facade of business but when it comes down to it people are making arrangements with people so it's great to have the business out there but it is also great to show that you are human.
In order to manage these accounts you want to go and register at
http://Ping.fm. It saves you time by allowing you to ping a message to any of your social media profiles across the web, such as Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, and many more.Ping.fm automatically shortens URLs for easier posting to Twitter because for Twitter you are allowed only 140 Characters.
To get started go to Ping and create a user account and set up your various social networking accounts within your Ping account.
Start saving time and broadening your reach through your social media.. Go to where those people are at and don`t drag them to where you want them to be.
