Twitter Marketing can drive International Business

From WSI Digital Marketing - Twitter has international marketing appeal

All types of businesses and general human interactions and activities are going global.  The use of Social Media and Social Networking platforms is growing exponentially. Twitter is a runaway success story and the success of this social networking phenomena called Twitter can be attributed to its global appeal. Twitter recently announced that its 20 billionth message or tweet had been posted.

The interesting fact is that the 20 billionth tweet was not written in English and shows that Twitter is now benefitting from a worldwide following. When you consider that the 20 billionth tweet is not in English, this fact help us to understand Twitter's growth.

Twitter really has taken off in the non English speaking countries and if you want just one example, look at how Twitter was hugely important during the disputed Iranian elections. It is the speed of Twitter and the ease of access to Twitter that is so important. According to Twitter, the landmark tweet was sent by a Japanese graphic designer in Tokyo. The firm said that around 12 per cent of worldwide tweets are now posted in Japan, which is the second largest national proportion behind the US.

So Twitter is an extremely powerful digital marketing tool because it has location based services and also Twitter has gone global so it is the perfect networking platform for small, medium or large companies who want to reach out  and engage with customers and prospects - locally or internationally.

You can use this song to keep you happy when you are tweeting
