Twitter Parties

A Twitter party is a pretty fast moving, yet fun, virtual party. The parties typically last between 1 to 2 hours {although 30 minute parties are acceptable as well} and are an exciting way to connect and discuss a topic of mutual interest. Most Twitter parties have an expert panelist or two, as well as a party host to keep the party on topic and moving right along. Twitter users are asked to tweet with a specified Hashtag {#} for the party which the party host will announce prior to the event. If you look at a Twitter party calendar {such as TweeParties}, parties are listed by the hashtag {#}. Users can search for the hashtag and join in the conversation. These parties are a great way to connect with others via Twitter and find followers with common interests in your brand. Often, there are great prizes given away by the party sponsors.

The Host:

• Ask questions about the party theme in relation to your brand
• 1-2 weeks prior to the party start sending out tweets, Facebook updates, or blog community posts
• Blog about the party and let followers know what to expect
• Have an RSVP list where the party attendees can sign up for the giveaway and can help promote via daily tweets for extra entries {thus extending your invite reach to all of their followers}
• Discuss giveaways with Sponsor, if desired

Brand Benefits:

• Increase in traffic to your website {Scavenger Hunt style party directs attendees to your site for detailed answers or general questions about your product can also lead attendees to your site for answers}
• Gain new followers on Twitter as well as your website, Facebook or other online presence
• Introduce your Social Media presence as well as promote your product or brand to the reach of all those in attendance through their Twitter stream
