According to Beacom, “When it comes to learning how to use Twitter as a marketing tool, a business must first decide what their end goal is: are they looking to bring more consumers into their store? Are they trying to get the word out about a new product? Or maybe they’re just trying to gain more following and engagement online, and make the right audience aware of their services.”
Twitter is one of the top social media platforms used for business marketing across the globe. The network boasts more than 300 million active users worldwide who send out on average 500 million tweets each day, and supports 33 languages.
