Gerris' Twitter Services

Gerris has been at the forefront of the Twitter phenomenon since its public offering, successfully leveraging the power of micro-blogging for many of its clients. Services include:

  • Twitter Consultation: Gerris often works with clients to help them understand what micro-blogging means, the impact it can have within their industry, and the ways in which it can be utilized to implement customer service, improve customer loyalty, promote the brand, and protect a company's reputation.
  • Twitter Profile Creation: Gerris has successfully created and populated Twitter profiles for a number of clients. Profile creation includes:
    • Twitter Brainstorming: An initial consultation with the client that outlines the goals, challenges and Twitter strategy prior to profile creation
    • Profile Creation: Gerris will create a Twitter profile that mirrors the branding, marketing, and messaging currently utilized by the client. All messaging "tweeted" through Twitter will mimic that of the company's branding.
    • Constant Population: Once the profile is created, Gerris will either train or populate the Twitter profile with valuable information that connects with fellow users on Twitter. Population will include daily "tweets" throughout the work week to boost followers and community engagement.
    • Valuable Team "Retweeting": Not only will a skilled team member help with the population of the Twitter profile, but the entire Gerris team will be behind the client, "retweeting" their content which in turn means an exponentially larger audience seeing the company's message. For instance, Chris Abraham, Gerris’s President and COO, who is known as one of the top Twitterers of Social Media news(having over 2,700 followers) will "retreet" every client messaging. What does this mean? A Twitter veteran will be promoting your company, brand, and message...and people will listen. At least three Gerris team members with high profile Twitter profiles will be able to retweet each client "tweet" at a time.
    • Continual Re-Evaluation: Gerris will continually connect with each client to ensure the messages disseminated on Twitter stay fresh, valuable, and relevant.
  •  Gerris Twitter Case Study: A fantastic example of Gerris’s knowledge of Twitter is illustrated by our work with the client, The Fresh Air Fund, a non-profit agency providing free summer vacations in the country to more than 1.7 million New York City children from disadvantaged communities.
    •  Twitterers Who Will Change The World: With Gerris’s help, The Fresh Air Fund created a Twitter profile to communicate with other NPOs, current volunteers, potential families interested in The Fresh Air Fund, and donors. In just three months of tweeting, The Fresh Air Fund Twitter profile has over 600 followers and has reached thousands of individuals who they otherwise would never have been in contact with. Not only does Gerris help guide The Fresh Air Fund on how to best utilize Twitter in a respectful and value-driven way, Chris Abraham is also eager to help “retweet” The Fresh Air Fund’s Twitter content, meaning that over 3,000 users are seeing this non-profit’s messaging, creating a critical relationship with The Fresh Air Fund that results in support of the NPO. Even more impressive, The Fresh Air Fund was recently nominated to be a part of the “Top Ten List of Twitterers Who Will Change The World” — a fantastic feat for an NPO who has only been a part of the Twittosphere for three months.
