Again, I am not here to answer the question; "Is the social media boom also a social marketing boom?" What I will give you here is a set of great social media tools. If you want to fold these tools into your social marketing suite, have at it. 

In order to be effective with Twitter promotion, you must be able to get targeted twitter followers.

Twuffer

Twuffer allows you the Twitter user to compose tweets and queue them up in a list of future tweets. You have a schedule and release feature that allows you to control when these tweets tweet. Twuffer works as published.  You can tweet hourly/daily/monthly to all your market and followers.

My Tweeple

My Tweeple is a tool to manage all of your Twitter people in one place. You can easily see who are you following and who's following you. Works Great!

HootSuite

HootSuite is the ultimate Twitter toolbox. With HootSuite, you can manage multiple Twitter profiles, pre-schedule tweets, and measure your success. HootSuite lets you manage your entire Twitter experience from one easy-to-use interface.

Why use scheduled tweets?

Improving visibility:
If you send more tweets, your Twitter handle and your content become more more visible. Scheduling your content to come out at regular intervals during the day translates to improved visibility, and has the additional benefit of being less interruptive. Many business and power users have told us that scheduling content in advance allows them to focus on other Twitter experiences such as retweeting, sourcing new content streams or having conversations.

twittangle

twittangle is a free service that helps you untangle the mess of having too many friends on twitter. We allow you to rate and tag your friends and then filter your timeline to help you easily find the tweets that are most important to you! Now you can create custom groups of your followers and filter your timeline by that group.

How Does It Work?

It's simple really. Just use your Twitter account to login. Then we'll show you a list of all of the people you're following on Twitter. Go through the list and rate and tag your favorites. Once you've got all your favorites rated and tagged, click 'Home' and we'll compile a custom timeline for you, with tweets from your favorite users first. Then you can filter by tag or go farther back in time to see more tweets.
