Marketing Buzz Around Twitter Parties
What is a Twitter party?
A Twitter Party is an online event sponsored by your brand that you can use to meet your customers, announce a service, launch a product, or simply get people talking. You pick the time, the hashtag, and pull people into the conversation. Brands love them because they’re cheap, easy to put together and they have the potential to generate hundreds (if not thousands) of tweets about your brand in just a couple of hours. Customers love Twitter parties because they’re non-intimidating, fun, and guests can attend your party in sweatpants. A few years ago you would have held a Meet-N-Greet at your store front. Now, you hold a Twitter Party.
