About Twitter Cards

The two most popular social media sites in the world today are Facebook and Twitter. Some business houses are advertising their products and services on social media. Twitter gained popularity in social media as it enabled users to send short burst messages to the world hoping someone would look at the message (tweet) and respond. Initially, tweet messages were limited to sending 140 character messages. People started following messages on their topic of interest and also started following messages of people that they liked, for example, celebrities, sports persons and politicians.

Recently in America, the world witnessed US President Donald Trump’s addiction of broadcasting his views on the world and domestic affairs on Twitter. In fact, some of his tweets created quite a stir and criticism as well.

Twitter has become one of the favorite social media tools among people to air their views on any topic they choose. Because of the character limitation users are forced to write short and meaningful messages. Also the fact that it’s a free broadcaster and receiver has made it hugely popular. Most people use it as a recreational tool, but some people write and broadcast useful messages.

People who have seen the popularity of Twitter have started using it to promote their business. People have responded to tweets on job vacancies and found a job. Hobbyists have joined together and exchange information regarding their hobby on Twitter. People doing e-commerce were excited when Twitter announced that they were upping the game and announced analytics for Twitter cards. This new facility allows users to add images, videos and product descriptions to their tweets. For example, this means an ad for a t-shirt allows the seller to add an image of the product to the tweet.

After providing Twitter cards, surveys indicated that the response from viewers to tweets had increased by over 30%. Now e-commerce businesses could promote their top selling products on tweets and expect to get a better response. The dynamics of adverting and selling have changed since the advent of smart phones and social media. The social media sites have become the place for businesses to advertise products. People look at the ad and if they like what they see, and the price is right they will purchase it right there. Advertising on TV and newspapers or billboards no longer attracts buyers, its products on social media and especially if they have good reviews from legitimate sources that sell products. Plus the cost of advertising products on social media is minuscule as compared to running an advertising campaign on TV or any other media.
