WEEK 9 : TWITTER

I have chosen to follow those five Twitter users:

-Pottery Barn: Gives excellent ideas of how to decorate your home and also gives me great ideas on how to take professional pictures of my products for future posts.

-Williams Sonoma: Gives great recipes and decoration ideas as well.

-Interior Design: Like Pottery Barn also gives great home decoration insights to improve your home décor.

France-Voyage.com: Gives all sorts of tips on Trips to France which also helps me with my posts since I am focusing on different areas of France and their Traditional Home Décor.

Frenchly: Covers many different things about France (News, Fashion, Politics, Trips, etc.) which is great to keep updated on with what’s happening and getting ideas for posts that might interest my customers.

Yes, I did have to play around with many key words to find few connections that interested me, it is not easy to find really good ones.

Search words I used to find connections were:

Home Decoration, Home Decor, Interior Design, French décor, French Home Decor
French trips, Traveling in France
French news

Lists are a good way to organize everything by subject because when you start having many tweets going on, it can get really busy and confusing if everything is mixed up.

The lists are also very good to keep some tweets locked so competitors won’t be able to see strategic users you might be following.

I’ve created 4 different lists (French News, French Recipes, Trips to France, Home Décor) to organize my Tweets by subjects and make it easier when trying to find the subject desired.

I still don’t have any customer following me on twitter yet but I believe tweets would be more effective around lunch time, end of the day or weekends because that’s when most of my customers are not working and take time to check their social media.
