Therefore by ‘following’ I am expressing an interest in that account XMPie is about developing conversational marketing campaigns However you either have to already know your audience or ask someone to refer another that might be interested. Combining Twitter and XMPie offers a real-advantage People can bring themselves into a campaign by simple expressing ‘interest’ Those following someone that brought themselves into the campaign can also follow the leader – as we promote the fact that the user has brought themselves into the campaign.

16. Value of Twitter Conversational Marketing No longer do I need any recipient data to start the campaign Harness the popularity of Twitter to viral spread a campaign XMPie produces RURLs on-demand when someone expresses an interest in the campaign Immediately develop a conversation with the recipient – as we already know something about the recipient as soon as they enter the campaign (Twitter profile information) XMPie works in synchronicity with Twitter to bring the user in before taking over control from Twitter.
