Twitter is a powerful part of your marketing arsenal, but it can only do you so much good if you’re not keeping track of how it’s performing on your behalf. Fortunately, there are tools at your disposal that will help you do just that. Today I’d like to look at two of my favorites: Audiense and Simply Measured.
SocialBro’s mission statement is to help its users analyze, engage and monetize their Twitter audiences. This starts by using the site’s search and filter tools to help fine-tune your target audience and discover potential new clients, influencers and customers. SocialBro users can search amongst the nearly 300 million currently active Twitter followers by criteria such as industry, keywords, geographical location, language and verified accounts. You can even drill down with such criteria as the user’s number of daily tweets, time since last tweet and customized avatars.
SocialBro features powerful tools to target your Twitter audience.
You’re also able to access a wide variety of demographic information about your followers through SocialBro’s search and segment tools, which additionally allow you to monitor your Twitter communities for specific websites, hashtags and keywords. This, in turns, lets you further tailor your Twitter audience.
If you’re looking to conduct cross-channel marketing campaigns, SocialBro simplifies the process by integrating your email database to allow you to connect with existing customers and contacts. SocialBro will automatically search for corresponding Twitter handles.
SocialBro’s powerful analysis tools give you an at-a-glance view of your Twitter community that includes details about engagement, new followers and recent unfollows, influencers and who is being influenced, a language chart, a location map, a gender breakdown and tag clouds.
