Whether you’re a Twitter newbie or veteran, you can use this TweetSheet for better results. How?

Veterans can use it to create unique marketing campaigns that out-innovate their competition. By randomly selecting tactics from each category, you’ll develop creative promotional strategies never-before used together, and that alone guarantees your brand will get noticed.
