Have you ever thought of day spa marketing with Twitter? Have you heard of salon marketing with Twitter? If you do not know what 'Twitter' is - here is an interesting fact. 'Twitter' has made it to the top of the list of most popular English words in 2009 as per the Global Language Monitor. For the uninformed, "Twitter" is a micro-blogging platform where you can update friends on what you are doing in less than 140 characters. However, this tool has been exploited by savvy marketers and for good reason. You can build your online presence, network with people from around the world and drive traffic to your salon or day spas website by increasing your Twitter following.

Can Twitter help with salon marketing?
Is it possible to use this new networking phenomenon as a tool for salon marketing or day spa marketing? Some people argue that it requires posting good tweets at frequent intervals and following good tweet etiquette. Others say that you have to drive traffic to your Twitter page and follow others so that they in turn, follow you. For instance if you have a special day spa promotion, you can update your followers on Twitter and ask them to visit your spa website to take advantage of the special promotion. Or if for instance, you are marketing a hair salon, you can use one of the web marketing strategies of popularizing your Twitter page using forum or email signatures. You can be an active member of any forum that has people discussing about hair styles and make meaningful posts. Include a link to your salons Twitter page in your profile or signature, thereby driving traffic to your Twitter page. You can also include a link to your page in all your email signatures.

The key to effective marketing on Twitter is just using it to drive traffic to your salon or day spa website and help enhance customer loyalty.

Strategies to increase your followers
