 1. Tips to get more followers

First of all, if you want other people to follow you, you should be the first one who follow them: so try to understand who could be an interesting connection, follow it and more likely it will follow you too.
Moreover, besides tweet interesting contents which would favour interactions, it’s important to dialogue with your users’ base and take part into conversations; if you can’t find interesting contents in your feed home, use the hashtag # research tool to exploit the key words which could be linked to your company or your business.
An useful tool that allows to simultaneously control many accounts, retweets, new followers and interesting hashtag researchs is Tweet Deck, that you can activate in this link https://tweetdeck.twitter.com.

Finally, promote your account everywhere! Include your username @ in your business card, in merchandising, and install the buttons “follow” or “tweet” in you official web site.

2. Creation of Ads campaign aimed to the follower’s increase

Thanks to Twitter Ads Italy it’s possible to create ads campaign aimed to the acquisition of additional followers, promoting your Twitter’s account by disclosing it in different ways: in the “who to follow” section in the right corner, directly in the home tweet feed of the users, or in the research’s results.

In your promotional message try to explain to the users why they should follow you! Indeed, the most important thing is to specify why they could find your profile interesting and suited to their needs, and for that is useful to customize the message according to the target. You shouldn’t use hashtag # or external links in the description, but it’s better to include the word “follow” in every kind of message.

Finally, you should always control the return of investments to evaluate the performance, through the use of specific statistic tools available directly on the social network: the Twitter Analytics that you can find here https://analytics.twitter.com.
