Recently, we gave you the run down on how to successfully take advantage of the new Twitter facelift. If you haven’t fixed the dimensions of your cover photo or pinned a tweet yet, you better get to it!) Amongst the changes like a new layout, Twitter offers advertising to amplify lead generation and reach target audiences with Twitter Ads. You may have even seen a few Twitter Ads features in your newsfeed, like the promoted tweet below.
After signing up for Twitter Ads, you have three options: Promote Accounts, Promote Tweets and Promote Trends. Depending on your objectives, each option may be great for your online marketing plan.
Promote Accounts: Catch the attention of brand advocates, users and other brands to increase your following and find out what your demographic needs or wants through online interaction.
Promote Tweets: Target your audience and provide special discounts, offers and more to the right person, in a specific area, during a designated time. Promoted tweets are easy to measure in terms of success because they can require immediate action like an e-mail sign up or purchase.
Promote Trends: Garner attention for a new product, campaign or conversation easily through Promoted Trends. This is a useful tool to search and manage your conversations online.
