Twitter has over 100 million users and many businesses use the service to help gain new customers and reach a wider audience.

To do this, follow these tips:

  1. Create an account; you can’t have a Twitter background without a Twitter account.
  2. Decide what you want the image to be. If it is a Twitter account for your business, then have your company logo, or a picture of you, or a picture of your store.  Make sure there is personality in you Twitter background.
  3. Now, you should consider how much space you have for your custom Twitter background. Remember, your custom Twitter background will appear in the middle of the page. So, anything in the middle will not be seen because your Twitter feed will block it. For this reason, you may want to think about tiling the photos. That way the viewer can see the picture in various parts of the page, without missing anything.
  4. For your custom Twitter background, you should consider putting in a border. It will be easier on the eyes of y our users if they can distinguish between the picture without it all melding together.
  5. At this point, go to your Twitter profile and select Change Background Image. Then, upload the image you have chosen. After a few seconds, it should upload and you can see what it is going to look like. Look at your profile and determine if the picture is right for your page. If it is, then go with it, but if you feel it is not, then you should choose an image that you like better, or that will fit better.

Twitter can offer your business a big boost by helping you to reach clients from all over the world. The trick is making use that you create a Twitter profile that is going to match your business and you. This is why you need to choose a good Twitter background for it, and that comes down to choosing a custom Twitter background.
