Twitter is a flutter with twitter parties on a daily basis. Are there written rules on participation and etiquette for twitter parties? The answer is No! There are however actions you can take to show your level of participation and appreciation to the host and sponsor for having the party. Sponsor’s main goals are to bring awareness to a brand, product, item or service. The easiest and fastest way to introduce something new is through social media. Out of all the social media platforms twitter parties are the hottest commodity for product and brand introduction, especially if prizes are going to be given away at the party. Twitter Parties create brand and product awareness luring in followers to want to learn more, go out and purchase, and even win the product, item, or service being promoted. This all in turn creates a customer base and money in the party sponsor’s pocket. Parties can be a win win situation for all involved.
Below are some tips to help enhance your experience at a twitter party and also show gratitude to both host(s) and sponsors for having the party.
- Read through the rules for the party – they are there for a reason and explain what you need to do in order to be eligible to win prizes.
