How fashion brands can use Twitter to inspire shoppers

In today’s world, fashion shoppers scroll through social media feeds faster than they browse through clothing-store aisles. Because a brand’s online presence has become the main source of inspiration for customers, brands must capitalize on the opportunity and provide the content that people are searching for. 

Here's a few tips on how fashion brands can use Twitter to provide inspiration for shoppers. 

Share a style guide

Make shopping easy for your customers by creating an inspiration guide. Pair your brand’s products together, coordinate outfits and accessories, or show off the season’s trends.

Post tips or a Q&A from style experts

When customers are shopping online, they can’t ask a sales associate if a clothing item fits right or matches well. Bridge the service gap by featuring style experts. Share tips or offer up a question-and-answer series to give shoppers all the information they need to make a purchase.
