Basically, with in the era of Smartphone’s, to me Twitter is the most useful and easy to manage tool for Connacht Clan to disseminate information very quickly. It’s much lighter to use than Facebook, which requires more administration and content.

There are multiple benefits:

• Whether it's a announcing a new article on the website
• Or a say new topic opening up in the forum in the lead up to or after a game.
• Announcing a meeting point for away games while we are all in transit, you can add Map or Web Links to the location.
• Simply connecting Supporters to news items relating to Connacht Rugby that might prove interesting.
• Or Forwarding on beneficial information received from another Tweeter

It’s a really useful tool to pull the connections tighter, to help drive Connacht Supporters traffic through the Connacht Clan website which is in its infancy. Twitter drives so many important global news stories these days you’d be amazed, it is a really powerful marketing tool.

Since the Connacht Clan Forum was launched on the 25/08 only 80 members have registered on the Forum, which is pretty poor given there are approaching 3000 Connacht season ticket holder out there.

Connacht Rugby utilise Twitter to drive punters to their Facebook page and to the Main Website, likewise the IRFU who post
links to Website content out via Twitter constantly.

They both then also try to drive traffic to their sponsor sites by refernicng them in articles and links on the site to support them. We would be doing the same thing really but driving traffic to our sponsors (Busker Browne’s etc) and to the Connacht Rugby site and Facebook page…

Twitter won’t be for everyone who supports Conancht, but for those of us on here who do Tweet please follow @connachtclan and for god’s sake re-tweet our more important information like your life depended on it.

Even if it brings just one of your Connacht Supporting Twitter using friends on board it brings a potential to really snowball vistors and memvers…
