How to Use Twitter Ads for More Exposure, Leads and Sales | Armonk NY Realtor
Are you interested in learning more about advertising on Twitter?
Have you followed the latest on Twitter ads?
Twitter has many paid options to help you gain more exposure.
Keep reading to discover three ways to use Twitter ads to grow your business.
Why Twitter Advertising?
When Twitter released their advertising platforms, there was a huge lack of functionality when it came to targeting your ads toward specific audiences.
While it’s still not as detailed as Facebook or LinkedIn advertising, Twitter has come a long way in making sure your advertising reaches the right audience.
In this post, we’re going to look at how to create a high-performance Twitter ad campaign for your business.
#1: Gain Visibility With Promoted Tweets
One of the most popular uses of Twitter advertising is to promote a specific message (tweet) on Twitter. For example, if you search Twitter for a particular keyword, you’re likely to see a promoted tweet at the top of search results.
This can be a great way to get a specific message about your products and services at the top of your potential customers’ Twitter feed. It can also be used to promote engaging content created by your business to boost authority in your industry.
To promote a tweet, you need to go to the Twitter advertising section and sign in with your usual Twitter username and password. If it’s your first time there, you’ll be asked to select your country and time zone.
Twitter advertising is currently available in the United States, United Kingdom, Canada and Ireland. For those who have used Twitter advertising before, you can click the New Campaign button to start a new advertising campaign.
National brands and advertising agencies in 18 other countries including Australia, Brazil, France and Italy can fill out a form to speak with an advertising specialist.
Next, choose New Promoted Tweets Campaign. Then you’ll answer a series of setup questions about your campaign, starting with the campaign name and duration.

2013 a year of ‘pleasant surprises’ for housing market | Armonk Homes
Toronto’s housing market continues to defy skeptics, Calgary’s is upward and onward, Vancouver has “sprung back to life” and Montreal remains a relative bargain, says a BMO Capital Markets assessment of “a year of pleasant surprises” on Canada’s real estate front.
In fact, the market has “pulled up sharply” from last year’s downturn and “is cruising at an above-normal altitude,” says BMO senior economist Sal Guatieri in a cross-country checkup on four key housing markets.
- Toronto is “hardly landing,” says Guatieri, with sales up 9 per cent over historic norms in the three months up to October. But benchmark prices, up 4 per cent over a year ago, remain “lofty” at more than six times median family income.
But with close to 60,000 new condos under construction and developers offering more incentives, such as free furniture and waived maintenance fees, in the face of a dramatic sales slowdown, price gains should slow in 2014, says Guatieri.
While there is mounting concern that far too many new units will be coming on the market, the report says the shortage of new detached homes, and their high prices, will force more buyers into condos and they should absorb the new supply.
- Calgary is the place to be: It is the strongest major market in Canada, with house sales 20 per cent above historic norms and benchmark prices up 8 per cent, virtually making up for the 16 per cent decline in prices from 2007 to 2009.
Prices remain at a more reasonable four times median family income and demand remains extraordinarily high because of the number of immigrants and young people heading west looking for work.
- Vancouver has pulled out of last year’s steep decline — sales were down 33 per cent, year over year, at the peak, and prices were depressed by 6 per cent — but “affordability is Vancouver’s Achilles’ heel,” says the report.
“We continue to expect detached house prices to decline moderately in the medium term,” says Guatieri.
Condos remain the most affordable option, eating up 29 per cent of median family income, now that prices have fallen to essentially where they stood six years ago, says the report.
- Montrealmay be the weakest of the four major markets, but that’s good news for house hunters. Sales remain 9 per cent below historic norms and prices are up just 2 per year over year.
That makes the median price of a two-storey detached home in Montreal just $382,000, compared to $565,000 in Toronto and just over $1 million in Vancouver.
