Twitter Branding: Creating a Custom Background for Your Twitter Profile
Categories: Social Media, Twitter, Web Design, Web Marketing
No comments yet, your thoughts are welcome!
You’ve probably seen Twitter profiles from users who have a custom Twitter background. A custom Twitter background is a background image that has some information about them, maybe a photo, information about their website, etc…
Realizing that their brand can be extended not only through the content they author, but also through the way their profile looks on services like Twitter, they had custom background images created:
- http://twitter.com/SPOONFoundation
- http://twitter.com/taxresolution
- http://twitter.com/sweetbeemagic
- http://twitter.com/cooltweets
- http://twitter.com/ijustine
This is a relatively small investment for brand synergy, and helps people already familiar with your brand know they’ve found the right person on Twitter to follow. Remember that people aren’t usually reading your Twitter feed on your Profile page, they’re reading it on their Twitter Home page, or another Twitter application (like Tweetie). So, we’re really just talking about first impressions – like when someone clicks through a reference to you in another tweet, or clicks through to your Twitter profile page from a website – people will make the decision about whether to follow your feed very quickly. Their decisions will be based on whether the content looks interesting/valuable – don’t forget that part of that perception is based on the way your profile looks!
