Using social media sites such as Twitter to get the word out about your holiday let is a smart idea.
However it does take time and unless you manage your time effectively you could end up forgetting to do other things. You could even neglect to tweet altogether because it drains your time.
That’s why scheduling solutions including Hootsuite, Buffer and TweetDeck have gained in popularity. There are different applications you can use to manage your tweets, but they all work in much the same way.
Let’s identify some of the most significant advantages to managing your Twitter account in this way.
1. You can schedule one period of time each day to set up your tweets
If you post your tweets manually you’ll have to do so throughout the day. This can be frustrating, which is why scheduling applications are so popular.
You can choose the best time of day to sit down, write and upload your tweets and schedule them to be published.
You can even choose the specific times that you know your tweets will get the best responses from your audience.
2. You don’t have to constantly remember to post updates to your Twitter account
Another problem with doing things manually is that you need to remember to do it!
Sometimes other tasks get in the way and before you know it another day has gone by, which won’t get your holiday let the promotion it deserves. People may even unfollow you if they don’t see any regular activity on your account.
However once you have allocated a particular time of day to set up all your tweets for that day, you can forget about Twitter and get on with other things.
Of course you should monitor your account occasionally to make sure you respond quickly to any queries or questions, but at least your tweets are taken care of.
3. You can spend the rest of the time focusing on other ways to promote your holiday rental property
Being able to tick something off your ‘to do’ list each day is a big advantage to have.
Once you get into a routine whereby you can spend half an hour or so scheduling your tweets, you’ll find you have more time to do other things as well.
Maybe you can join Facebook and set up a business page there – something you may not have had time to do before.
There are all kinds of other promotional activities you could be getting on with. And all the while your Twitter account is being regularly updated with the tweets you’ve already written.
As you can see there are some significant benefits to consider here.
When you add in the fact that your Twitter account is far more likely to be consistently updated too, you’ll see it’s easier to generate more followers as well.
In fact, using a scheduling tool could be the best thing you could do to find new potential customers to book your holiday let.
