We recently added Twitter to your Shop Owner profiles to allow you to share updates with your followers. You can have a shop\/brand handle on your Shop page and your personal handle on your profile page. As the social media specialist at Shapeways, I believe that Twitter is an exciting platform for Shapeways Shop Owners and users to showcase work, market products, and generate conversation around your Shapeways Shop.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re already on Twitter and follow @Shapeways<\/a>, I\u2019m often the eyes that get to see all of your tweets. My favorite part about Twitter is that it\u2019s only 140 characters and it\u2019s a great way to provide frequent updates to your followers. If you\u2019re a Shop Owner or designer looking to tweet about your work, following these best practices for composing a tweet will significantly increase the likelihood of engagement (retweets, favorites, mentions, replies).<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s an example of a quality tweet by Brandon George, the owner of the Shapeways Shop 3by3D<\/a>. Let’s breakdown what makes this tweet a great tweet in my opinion.<\/p>\n

1)<\/strong> It includes a quality photo relevant to his tweet. Everyone is competing for eyeballs on your Twitterfeed so having a attractive visual image in your tweet gets twice the response rate than a tweet without a photo.<\/p>\n

2)<\/strong> The tweet uses hashtags like #Flower #mensfashion #Style which relate to the product being promoted, and using popular hashtags increases the chance of exposure of your for people searching for that hashtag.<\/p>\n

3)<\/strong> The tweet includes a shortened URL linking back to his Shapeways Shop where interested followers seeing the tweet can be directed to find his shop.<\/p>\n
