Twitter is one the best new communications tools for marketers.  It gives you a great opportunity to share news, and updates with your followers very quickly, and to share links to guide your followers to your offerings.  Twitter gives your followers a way to communicate back to you, and for you to learn what your market really wants, all in 140 character snippets of text.  Twitter is amazingly effective in creating conversations with your market, and is the primary communications tool of many marketers.  Becoming a leader of the conversation in your niche within Twitter can bring you amazing leads, traffic, and sales.

Twitter’s default look may be OK, for most people.  But a marketer needs to create a unique persona, one that people enjoy hearing from, and sharing with.  If your profile looks like everyone else’s you won’t be remembered.  Making sure people remember you, and your sites, is critical to have repeat sales within your niche.  If you want people to remember your Twitter profile, you will need to take a little time and modify your profile from the standard themes used by most people.
 
Making a custom background, maybe including your picture, or photos from products in your niche, can make a big difference in creating interest in Twitter users.  When they check out your profile through a Twitter search, or by following your profile for a message they saw from you, they will see a highly polished, unique Twitter profile.  This conveys to your followers you are serious about using Twitter, and being a professional in your niche.
