January 27, 2014

When looking for great automotive marketing ideas, attending Twitter chats can be a vital tool to learning about the cutting-edge of digital marketing – along with great conversation with industry leaders.

 

What is a twitter chat?. According to About.com a Twitter Chat is as follows:

A Twitter tweet chat is a pre-arranged chat that happens on Twitter through the use of Twitter updates (called tweets) that include a predefined hashtag to link those tweets together in a virtual conversation.

These conversations are normally led by a moderator who presents a question and/or topic and the participants are asked to answer the questions, and give their insight. As you can figure, these translate in participants learning something new every session.
