12 Twitter Tips to Make a BIG Impact

If you don’t already have one, create an account that is just for promoting your professional salon services and products.

1. Add a profile image

For your profile picture use a good photo of your face. You don’t want to use a random personal picture with all sorts of people or things in the background.

This is the wide picture at the top of your profile. You want this picture to be a company logo or image. This lets your prospects know what you do.

Spend 30 minutes finding people, products, and salon-related pages to follow. Twitter has a search box on the top right-hand corner of the page that you can use to search for anything on that platform. Be sure to follow pages and people that relate to your business, such as clients, potential clients, salon magazines, etc…

“Tell me below which new tactic you plan to use first and what happens when you do.”

But wait!!

There is more you can do to draw people in. For instance, as a local salon business or independent professional providing services to LOCAL people who want what you offer, it won’t do you any good if you’re tweeting people outside your local area or those who won’t value what you provide.
