Twitter is a massive blue ocean for eCommerce brands looking to acquire customers! Thanks to recent changes by Elon Musk, Twitter is getting more traffic than ever, with a fraction of the advertisers compared to other social networks like Facebook. They have seen a 2% increase in new users just since October, netting the social network an impressive 12 million new users and counting! 

The Twitter team has also neutralized most of the bot accounts, ensuring a high-quality user experience. With this incredible growth, big brands like Starbucks, Michael Kors, Sony, Samsung, and Amazon are jumping on the advertising bandwagon, and you can too. 

Take advantage of this amazing opportunity to reach your ideal audience and drive traffic to your brand.

Why run Twitter ads?

  • Monthly active users: 396 million. (And Growing)

  • Worldwide usage ranking: 18th most popular social media network.

  • Average daily usage: 34.8 minutes/day.

Reach a highly-targeted audience: Reach the “Right” audience based on demographics, interests, behaviours, keywords, and even specific events or occasions. This means you can reach potential customers who are most likely to be interested in your products.

Cost-effective: CPMs can cost up to 80% less than other social media platforms, making it a cost-effective option for eCommerce businesses looking to advertise their brand.

Increase engagement and conversions: Twitter ads can effectively increase engagement and conversions. You can use engaging visuals and compelling copy to capture your audience's attention and motivate them to take action.

Flexibility: Twitter offers a variety of ad formats, including promoted tweets, accounts, and trends. This flexibility allows advertisers to choose the format that best fits their advertising goals and budget.

How To Get Your Twitter Ads Live:

Step 4: Target your audience. Choose your target audience based on keywords, interests, and other factors. You can also choose to create a custom audience based on app activity or website activity. For this example, we'll target people interested in SAS and advertising.

Step 5: Create your ad. Select the ad format you want to use (image, video, or carousel) and set the destination URL. Then add your ad copy, including a headline and description. Make sure to include a clear call to action!

Step 6: Launch your campaign. Review your ad details and click "Launch Campaign." Your ad should be approved within 15 minutes.
