Get X/Twitter Right with High-Tech SaaS

Companies in the high-tech Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) industry are always evolving, regularly launching products and services. The way they communicate offerings matters a great deal to how their target audience understands them, and how the market reacts.

Besides launches, high-tech SaaS companies have many other messages to communicate. From GDPR security updates to industry thought leadership, SaaS companies use social networks—and particularly X, formerly known as Twitter—as tools to connect with clients and prospects.

We’ve analyzed the X/Twitter accounts of 10 SaaS companies to see what we can learn from them about successfully using a broadcast platform as a means to inform, engage, and hopefully delight with content. 

Become Thought Leaders

Thought leadership helps position an organization as knowledgeable about their industry and thus able to offer the best solution. By presenting the reasons why their company promotes specific enterprise solutions, they assume the stance of a go-to source in a particular vertical. X, formerly known as Twitter, is an opportunity for SaaS companies to stand out as leaders in their markets.

Lower Security Concerns

After the recent Facebook and Equifax security breaches, people are becoming increasingly wary of sharing personal data.
