How to use Twitter this Christmas Season

You need to reach people shopping on their smart phones. This can be achieved through running a mobile campaign. We know that 94% of Twitter users in the UK are engaging with mobile commerce, this therefore makes twitter users the perfect target. You can use videos on Twitter to amplify your campaign. Twitter have introduced a ‘Twitter Video Card’, which offers you a simple way to upload and distribute videos on twitter. This is proved to be efficient as tests show that Tweets using the Video Card generate better engagement and more views, and this can run ads using cost per view. This means you only get charged when a user starts playing your video.
