If you didn't know, VerticalResponse is on Twitter! Follow us, we're VR4SmallBiz. We're having a blast with it, watching more people follow us every day. Why should you start to "tweet"?
1. You want to be where your customers are and you can bet many of them are on Twitter. You can tweet about what's going on at your company, include links to some great articles you run across, and give your followers up to the minute information about your company and product. Remember, keep it short and sweet.
2. You can grow your list! Think of it as a boost for your email marketing
program. When you create your newsletter or email blast using
VerticalResponse, make sure you use the feature that enables you to
host your email on a
web page. Then you can use Twitter to let everyone know you've
published your email and make sure you include the hosted version's URL.

Your clients, customers, partners, friends, family, colleagues, employees, advisors, investors, neighbours, competitors and even press relations... they're all part of your audience. Their methods of consuming media are diverse, and you should have a presence wherever they can reasonably expect to find you (including Twitter).
It's all about choice, after all!
Aside from time and effort, there is very little overhead in setting up shop on Twitter. So why not give it a try?
If nothing else, take that first step and start using it recreationally - you'll be surprised at what you can find.

I agree that it is important to be on places like Twitter. It is a way to spread out on the web. It is a way to be noticed.

This is a great idea! To be able to think out loud in a relevant way for your clients is awesome!
