Are you new to using Twitter for your veterinary business? Twitter is a great social media tool that you can use to represent your animal hospital or veterinary industry company. It allows you to connect directly with individuals and brands in a format that resembles texting. Twitter is like having the most complete list of contacts in your phonebook ever! It’s a powerful networking tool, as well as a great easy way to contact veterinary clients directly without having to give out your cell phone number.
Each message you compose on Twitter is called a “tweet.” Like Facebook, Twitter has a feed, and it’s composed of tweets from those who you can follow. You can follow a huge variety of Twitter users, from other veterinary professionals, to news organizations to Oreo. (Yum!) Everyone on Twitter is represented by their username, which is called a “handle.” Each handle starts with the “@” symbol. For example, my Twitter handle is@DanielleSNOUT. However, there’s a few things you should know before diving into the Twitterverse!
