Host a Twitter Party

Your brand or business can make a huge splash on social media by hosting a Twitter party.

I’d like to show you how to host a Twitter party, explore the reach of successful parties I’ve done and answer your questions about working together.

What is a Twitter Party?

A Twitter Party is a social media event for a brand or business that’s designed to

– Build brand awareness.

– Generate buzz and website traffic.

– Get more social media followers.

– Build your e-mail list & subscribers.

– Drive sales to a promotion, coupon or in-store event.

I’ve also hosted Twitter events with Walmart, Tyson Foods, Family Dollar, McDonald’s, Kia Motors and the Centers for Disease Control (CDC).

Timing a Twitter Party

It’s ideal if you have a new product launch or item to feature for your brand on a Twitter party.

If you’ve got a sports product – have a Twitter party the night before the big game!

If you’ve got a lunch box or backpack product – have a back to school party a few weeks before school starts!

Twitter parties usually last for 30, 60 or 90 minutes.

They’re typically held mornings and afternoons (10 a.m. to 4 p.m. EST) on weekday evenings (7-10 p.m EST).

What are the Twitter Party host responsibilities?

Party participants are encouraged to interact with your brand/business during the live event. In return, they’re eligible to win prizes or have access to exclusive discounts.

Moms love Twitter parties because they don’t have to get dressed or leave the house to have fun. They can sit back and take part using their laptops, smartphones or tablets. In fact, I wrote How to Throw a Successful Twitter Party.
