As social marketing has grown, companies have found that it’s one thing to gain likes and followers and another thing to turn those fans into actual customers. Twitter’s new Lead Generation card could be a powerful tool in the social media marketing arsenal.
Basically, Twitter’s Lead Generation card allows businesses to embed a landing page within a tweet. Let’s say that you wanted to offer a 50% off deal to new customers. Send out a tweet to that effect and add a lead generation card to your tweet. When potential customers expand the tweet, they see the details of the offer and a button that allows users to instantly send their info to the company. The tool pulls info from users’ Twitter profiles, so there’s no form to fill out–all it takes is one click for users to connect with a company. Businesses can then feed the data into their existing lead generation software or CRM tools. It’s an easy, frictionless way to find leads and grow your customer contact database.
You can see the potential. If you’re taking pre-orders on a hot new product, the Lead Generation card would be an easy way to find interested customers and let them know when the item becomes available. You could use the tool to grow your preferred customer program, or collect customer info with a special offer. The numerous possibilities can easily be tailored to fit your business.
