You may be using social media advertising to drive conversations, but did you know that you can build stronger relationships with existing customers and convert potential customers by hosting your own virtual Q&A session?

By running a weekly Twitter chat based on a topic relevant to your business interests, you can expect to easily and efficiently engage with new and existing audiences.
