X (Twitter) Advertising FAQ’s

Twitter is a social media platform with an incredibly loyal fan base and where you can increase the awareness of your brand. Twitter marketing involves creating, publishing, and distributing content for your target audience on the social media platform. Although it was originally conceived as a text-only platform, tweets can now include visuals such as videos, GIFs, and emojis to make them more engaging.

There are several benefits of marketing on Twitter, including:
Flexibility: You can decide what kind of content you want to publish and promote, and what type of audience you want to attract on the platform.
Social listening: Twitter lets you listen to consumer opinions and leverage that information to create relevant and engaging content for your audience.
Short messaging: Twitter forces you to write concise Tweets, but they can make your message more powerful and direct.
Website traffic: You can increase traffic and leads to your website by including links to your posts and landing pages.
Relevance: Twitter’s algorithm focuses heavily on timeliness and influence, which provides opportunities for real-time marketing.
Advertising: As with Facebook and Instagram, Twitter also supports advertising, through promoted tweets, accounts, and trends.
Analytics: Twitter provides precise analytics for impressions and interactions with your tweets so that you can track your performance.

Twitter users are interested in content and stories from the people, brands and businesses that they follow.
Twitter ads allow you to:

Reach the right audience by targeting based on interests, geography, gender, device, or users similar to your followers.
Amplify the relevancy of your message by targeting keywords in people’s Tweets.
Get your Tweets and your account in front of more people who are interested in you.

Challenges of Twitter for business
Resources: Maintaining a presence on Twitter requires a time commitment. It’s also vital that the staff looking after the account have the right skills and training.
Negative criticism: Customers could complain publicly about products or services, and negative comments can reflect poorly on your brand. However, dealing with complaints well can have a positive impact on your reputation.
Time-sensitive: Unless you tweet at the right time, when your audience and followers are online, your tweets could easily be missed.
Spam: Be wary of spam accounts on Twitter. In particular, do not click on suspicious links from users you don’t know.
