Twitter: Take Your Brand to Next Level

1. Choose a Unique, Memorable Twitter Handle

Your Twitter handle (aka Username) is as important as your domain name. If you do not have one, start your search and secure it!

Some tips to consider while searching:

  • Keep it short, around 15 characters is ideal.
  • If you can, keep it as close to the business name as possible. Like @LouisVuitton, @TommyHilfiger, @SPINXDigital, etc.
  • If it’s not brand-name specific, it should relate to your brand.
  • Use keywords if possible, but don’t over-optimize for the search engines.
  • The exchange gives you an opportunity to choose handle names if what you’re looking for isn’t available and you’ve got the cash to spend.
