Long-term Strategy vs. Campaigns
Developing a Twitter Strategy
Social media should be approached as a long-term strategy, supported over time by consistent communication and valuable content
Short-term campaigns work best for follower acquisition, short bursts of increased activity to support a seasonal promotion, larger campaign or just to do something nice for your followers
