A couple of reasons why one should use Twitter handle.

A customer support handle : Follow the customer who is not satisfied with your product and has posted an image-tarnishing review, and quickly address the issue.

An SEO ranking signal : A tweet of your link from an influential user on twitter can drive a lot of traffic, and can act as a concrete vote for SEO ranking. More the retweets of your tweet that includes your website name, better the position in search engines.
