One of the best ways for small business owners to boost their brands and network with like-minded individuals is to use Twitter Hours. We’ve put together an exhaustive and up-to-the-minute list of UK Twitter Hours to try out as part of your social media marketing.
What is a Twitter Hour?
A Twitter Hour is a temporary hyper-community created through the use of a Twitter hashtag. There are thousands of Twitter Hours around the world and are used by small business owners and digital marketers who want to network and promote their brands.
How do I participate in a Twitter Hour?
Getting involved in a Twitter Hour couldn’t be simpler. Just tweet your message at your chosen Hour’s specific time with the relevant hashtag. To make the Hour more engaging, be sure to follow the hashtag and interact with other people’s tweets – retweets, likes and replies are all welcomed and help to keep the spirit of the Twitter Hour alive.
As many Twitter Hours begin after hours, consider scheduling some of your promotional tweets in advance using software like Hootsuite and Buffer. That way, you’ll be able to focus on engaging with your followers during the Hour without having to remember to post about your products and services.
