One of the great things about Twitter is it is a constant stream of information. One of the bad things about Twitter is it is a constant steam of information …. It doesn’t stop.
When you use Twitter to make church announcements realize that Twitter appears chronologically. When I sign into Twitter I see the most recent tweets. Rarely, actually never, do I have time to look at every tweet I miss. Therefore, it is important to get your announcement out more than once.
Here are a few guidelines to help:
1. Tweet the same announcement at least 4 times a day.
People work and live in different “shifts” so try and accommodate them. I suggest sending one in early morning, one late morning, one midafternoon, and one after 9:00 PM. You’ll catch most that way.
2. Reword it every time.
Twitter doesn’t like for you to send the exact same tweet twice so mix it up a little.
3. Include a link.
When you have an announcement that you can build a Web page about always include the link to that page.
4. Start early and build intensity.
Start the announcements a good ways out with a few tweets and build frequency as you get close to the date.
Twitter can be a great advertising tool for your church of you use it consistently and well.
