Use Twitter search to pro-actively engage with customers
![Page 7: Taking Social Media Marketing To The Next Level](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022052823/5558c587d8b42a235c8b4780/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Do a search for related keywords on Twitter,respond to people who are checking in, visiting, etc.
Example: Hi Iʼm Vivien from XYZ. I noticed youʼre a guest in our hotel. Tweet me if you need anything :)

Use manual ʻold styleʼ retweets to earn brownie points.
Not the new style retweets. The old style notifies the user that you have RT-ed them, the new style doesnʼt.
