As we know, social media is one of the best ways to sell your T-shirt designs online. While the
majority of our users rely heavily on Instagram and Facebook for promotion, Twitter remains a
valuable outlet – especially if that’s where your community lives.
Twitter still operates in real time, with posts appearing in chronological order, free of the
algorithmic throttling that has a chokehold elsewhere. This makes Twitter one of the last, truly
democratic social media platforms out there – post content and, assuming you have an
engaged and active following, they will see it. Let’s look at how you can make the most of that.
You’d be amazed at how creative some people are with their tweets – our community is always
finding new ways to promote their designs and it’s worth taking notes. Here are just a few of
our favourite campaign promo tweets from recent times;
This isn’t rocket science, but you’d be amazed at how many people don’t maximise the tools
available to them. Your social accounts need to match the aesthetics of your merchandise –
they need to look great. Here are a few key places to start:
If someone tweets about you, be sure to retweet, add a comment or even just drop a ‘like’ on
it. Showing personality on socials can help your brand go a long way, and it will make you more
memorable.
Definitely, retweet any positive messages about you or your campaign – it’s a great way to
build momentum and to support the people supporting you.
Find the people on Twitter already talking about you by searching for your handle – drop
them a like as a great way to let them know you have an official profile that they should
follow.
You’re still working even when your campaign is over. Use the in-between moments to
showcase buyers wearing tees from previous campaigns.
Twitter operates in real time, which means you can make more of repeat messaging – don’t be
afraid to hammer home your message and make sure it gets seen. Key times we recommend
you posting to hype your campaign:
Use your Twitter account to post exclusive content your audience can’t find anywhere else. This
could be video, photo or just a text post.
You can post a video of you opening up some of your samples, or showing how you create the
artwork for your merchandise. Anything that gives a human side to your brand is always good.

Watch on Twitter
Just as an example, you could do a poll post. It gives you the chance to ask your fans what
product they’d like to see you create next. This will give your fans an interactive experience, and
they also get to have their say. They will appreciate having the chance to shape a brand they
care about.
Twitter is a place where you can tag all of the accounts that you feel are relevant to the vision
you’re pushing forward. If you’re lucky you may even get a retweet from a major account – this
is a sure-fire way to make sure your post reach is maximised and that you’re reaching new
audiences.
We love our Twitter community; they’re extremely active and they’re always tagging us or using
our #Everpress hashtag to keep us in the loop. Wherever possible we try and show support
with a like or retweet so make sure you’re using tagging and hashtagging on your tweets.
Better yet, scour through the hashtag for recent updates on what our community of sellers are
up to and for tips on great content ideas.
