Targeting by device. Suppose you want your target audience to fill out a specific signup form but this form is not easily accessible on mobile devices as it should have been. This leads to a serious challenge when using Twitter ads. Since people these days are more likely to use mobile devices for almost everything, it is not wise to target only the non-mobile groups. Switch on to Android or iPhone users and you will start getting more signups.
Do not go by the bidding price on Twitter. Whenever you create a campaign in Twitter, it will suggest a maximum bidding price that you should offer. This is your “per engagement” fee that you have to pay for follows, clicks, replies, and retweets. You can fix this engagement at a lower price than suggested by Twitter. Twitter might not get the bids for the niche inventory you are making, but this can be a great opening for some.
Do not anticipate beforehand. When you use Twitter ads, two alternatives will be open to you – Promoted Accounts and Promoted Tweets. With the former, you will have engagement, but the latter will effectively attract followers. You can try the opposite of this, which means you can promote your personal tweet, such as your blog. Experts opine that within a week, you will achieve several clicks and followers. Although you might have to pay for the clicks, the new followers will be worth your investment. You will find that using Twitters ads becomes much easier.
