"Twitter Tactics" is a free bonus course with all Shoestring Publishing niche startup business courses and covers social media for businesses.

Austin, TX (PRWEB) March 03, 2012

According to Fortune magazine, Twitter and Facebook are a crucial part of any business marketing strategy in 2012. Shoestring Publishing agrees, says Mr. Douglas: "The new course is called 'Twitter Tactics' and covers everything that a business startup owner needs to know to use Twitter and social media to put out the marketing message that gets you customers. You can still benefit by having knowledge of social media, Twitter and Facebook. Maybe today you might not even know what social media is for a business, but it is useful to put messages on Twitter that lead back to your website or Google Maps page, because those little messages are actually picked up by the search engines and help you get more attention online. It's called SEO or search engine optimization. Plus, people can actually find you on Twitter and Facebook these days. More people use Facebook and Twitter than use Google, in fact Facebook has four times more traffic than all Google properties put together, so social media is very important and this bonus course Twitter Tactics will teach you all about Twitter," Mr. Douglas says.

Chapters include:

Mr. Douglas says that a second course covers Facebook and is also a free bonus with every Shoestring business startup course.

Vitrue Offers Brands New Twitter "Gate" Feature to Screen Followers; Allows Alcohol Brands to Validate Consumers' Age …

ATLANTA, GA--(Marketwire -03/02/12)- Vitrue (www.vitrue.com), the leading social marketing platform, today announced that the company is giving brands the ability to screen or "gate" potential Twitter followers, before authorizing them to follow their stream. This new feature is designed to allow alcohol brands to restrict followers that are underage and ensure promotions, interactions and engagements are with age-appropriate audiences. At the same time, the functionality can also be extended to other tactics and campaigns.

Vitrue will be rolling out this feature with several spirits clients within the next 10 to 20 days.

This latest enhancement to Vitrue's Social Relationship Management (SRM) platform offers brands a solution to authorize access for Twitter stream followers through a seamless and instant screening capability. Vitrue clients that deploy this solution are able to request potential followers to provide additional information before continuing as a follower. The experience is completely customizable but could include specific questions like "what is your date of birth?" as a method of validating age-appropriate followers before allowing users to subscribe to their stream. The feature was initially designed for wine, beer and spirits brands that embrace a socially responsible digital presence but can be expanded for additional functionalities. This age validation feature is on par with other age validation features such as those found on brands' websites.

"Our new Twitter functionality was designed for our clients who want to take a measure towards ensuring their activity online is occurring with the appropriate audience, as social responsibility matters to our clients," said Reggie Bradford, CEO & Founder of Vitrue. "As social continues to evolve and becomes more ingrained in the mainstream, technology like ours will allow brands to more easily and seamlessly adapt with the ever-changing social landscape."

"The social Web has never been one-dimensional and with this rollout, we see the potential for additional opportunities for brands to interact with audiences via Twitter and we're looking forward to offering brands new functionality to build the most engagement with their followers," said Bradford.

The new Twitter feature is integrated within the Vitrue SRM Platform, giving brands the tools to publish, monitor, identify and engage with key influencers in Twitter streams. Vitrue has been providing Twitter publishing capabilities since 2009 and currently manages almost 1,000 Twitter streams for its stable of global brands and agencies.
