What Brands Ought Not To Do On Twitter

Talk about itself. All the time. David Meerman Scott has something to say about this.

Writer’s Note: Hundred Trees is a condominium development in Singapore. Hundred Trees is on Twitter and Facebook. Please note that I have personally seen @hundredtrees reply to tweets previously (if you don’t see any in their current timeline). Credit to @hundredtrees for being social when it mattered.

So what should brands do instead?

Connect with the audience or, at a minimum, share content or thoughts beyond the peddled products. Behave and be a real person behind a computer and the Twitter account (or any social media tools). That is somehow much easier to relate to from a customer’s point-of-view. “We as humans love to project personalities on inanimate objects.” (CoTweet)

Now, this is how Royal Plaza on Scotts does it on Twitter.

    Hello! It is really my pleasure to highlight best practices on social media, especially from a business in Singapore. There is so much others can learn from you.

    You’re doing great, but I will be happy to give suggestions when I do have one next time :)
