Overview
The article provides a step-by-step guide on setting up a Twitter challenge to boost brand advocacy. It explains how to create a tweet challenge with required content, the process for advocates to post directly to Twitter, and the use of the Challenge Template Library for scheduling regular challenges. Additionally, it highlights the integration of social engagement through multi-stage challenges to promote interaction with brand-related content.
Information
Ask your advocates to tweet about you (or anything, really)!
How it works
Set up the challenge by inputting the content of the tweet and specifying the Required content . When an advocate clicks on the challenge they can alter the default text before clicking Post to Twitter . However, you can specify that a user's Twitter handle or a certain hashtag are required content. Doing this will prevent the advocate from removing that required content if and when they alter the text.
As with the Follow on Twitter challenge , an advocate can post directly to Twitter simply by clicking the Twitter icon . This will only work if they have associated their Twitter account with their advocate profile. If they have no associated their Twitter account, they will see a note that says Connect Now! with a greyed out Twitter icon. Clicking that button will redirect them to login to Twitter and allow association with Influitive. Once that is complete they'll be redirected back to the challenge to carry on the fun.
Some best practice tips
The Challenge Template Library includes a Tweet of the Month challenge using this stage type. Some customers set these challenges up in advance and use our visibility date settings to have them automatically published on a monthly basis. You can also add this stage type into multi-stage challenges to get a bit of social play out of a variety of your advocates' activity. For example - want your advocates to read a white paper? Or read a news article about your industry? Or just tell you a bit about how they use your product? Get them to tweet about these things as well - you love it because it adds to your social profile, they love it because it's a few quick extra points!
FAQ
How can I ensure that certain elements of the tweet challenge remain unchanged by advocates?
By designating elements such as a user's Twitter handle or a hashtag as required content, advocates will not be able to remove these when customizing their tweets.

Advocates will be prompted with a 'Connect Now!' message and a greyed-out Twitter icon, which when clicked, directs them to log in to Twitter and authorize the connection with Influitive.
What is the Challenge Template Library and how can it be used?
The Challenge Template Library is a collection of pre-made challenges, such as the 'Tweet of the Month' challenge, which can be set up in advance and scheduled for automatic monthly publication using visibility date settings.
Can tweet challenges be part of a larger advocacy campaign?
