The Twittersphere is full of witty, charming people who can fit deliriously entertaining thoughts into 140 characters or less.
They put a lot of pressure on everybody else, especially professionals in fields that aren’t necessarily known for excitement. That makes getting started on Twitter particularly daunting.
But it doesn’t have to be. Twitter provides a unique opportunity for insurance agencies to share quick, helpful ideas and tips to prospects, and it also provides a means of learning more about prospects through direct questions (and the nifty analytics dashboard that you’ll find when you select the My Profile icon). In other words, it’s an opportunity that shouldn’t be passed up.
Our chief goal is always to make marketing easier and more productive for insurance agents, and social media marketing is no exception, so go ahead and use these 50 short and sweet insurance-related Tweets to ease into the Twittersphere. (Extra points if you add an image.)
