If you have not taken notice on the explosion of Twitter, you may not have realized that this micro-blogging platform has increased their traffic by 400+% with over 2 million unique users a month (stats gathered from Compete.com, actual numbers maybe greater). Hop aboard this train, but before you do make sure your Twitter page matches your company’s look and feel. Here are some tips on doing this:
- Use a real person’s image, people want to connect with a face not a logo
- In Settings –> Design select “Use my custom style below”
- Select “Use background image”, uncheck “Tile”
- Creat a image 1600px wide by 1200px high. This will allow your background to strech across most monitor sizes
- Create a border at the top 1 3/8″ tall. Use photoshop ruler.
- You have about 3″ from the left to add in logo
- Limit your left column to 2 1/2″-3″ wide max. Place secondary image and related company contact information.
