Twitter&#8217;s 280-character limit is one of the most important considerations for successful DM marketing. You should also know about the Read receipts, the Message length, and other important details that will help you get the most from your DM marketing strategy. Below we&#8217;ve outlined some of the most important tips and tricks you need to know.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"280-character_limit\"><\/span>280-character limit<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The 280-character limit for tweets has brought about a backlash for Twitter. The company&#8217;s response cites the fact that fewer tweets are 140 characters in Asian languages. A Japanese tweet, for example, contains fifteen characters, while a Chinese tweet has only three characters. Twitter has agreed to revisit this limit in the future, however. But for now, the service will remain as it is.<\/p>\n<p>The new character limit for tweets on Twitter has made things a bit more complicated. Previously, a single tweet was limited to 140 characters. But Twitter changed the character limit to 280 characters to encourage users to write more. As Twitter notes, it will change the way the multi-message &#8220;tweetstorms&#8221; take place. And with a larger character limit, more people may start writing more, and this change might help foster new jokes and diplomacy.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Read_receipts\"><\/span>Read receipts<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The first step to disabling read receipts when sending DM on Twitter is to log into your account and go to settings. Next, navigate to the Direct Messages section of the settings page. Here, you&#8217;ll find the option to send\/receive read receipts. Simply uncheck this option, and you&#8217;re done. Now, you can check or uncheck read receipts on Twitter messages.<\/p>\n<p>If you want to turn off read receipts when sending DM on Twitter, you can turn them off by following a few simple steps. Depending on your platform, you&#8217;ll need to go to the &#8220;Me&#8221; tab. Next, tap on the gear icon that&#8217;s two buttons to the left of the &#8220;Edit Profile&#8221; button. From there, select &#8220;Settings.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>In addition to enabling read receipts on Twitter, you can also check if your message was read by the recipient. DMs from people who don&#8217;t follow you will appear as message requests, and without read receipts, you can&#8217;t know whether they&#8217;ve actually read your message. If you&#8217;re unsure, you can manually check by tapping on the name of the person you sent the message to. A preview of the message will appear at the bottom of the conversation.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Message_length\"><\/span>Message length<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The 140-character limit on Twitter direct messages is now gone. The change is rolling out across all platforms and is the result of complaints that long messages were difficult to read. Twitter wants to make DMs the place where people talk about Twitter and so the 140-character limit should be lifted. Businesses can use DMs for customer support and to engage with their customers and prospects. The 140-character limit was introduced in June and is now being lifted in all platforms.<\/p>\n<p>The 140-character limit has been lifted, and Twitter is now allowing DMs to be longer than 140 characters. While regular tweets will remain limited to 140 characters, direct messages can now be as long as 10,000 characters. The move is expected to make Twitter more competitive with Facebook Messenger, which limits the character count to 20,000 characters. However, it&#8217;s unclear whether Twitter&#8217;s change will be enough to lure more users to the platform.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"DM_marketing_strategy\"><\/span>DM marketing strategy<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>A successful DM marketing strategy on Twitter can help you grow brand awareness, boost engagement, and develop a personal relationship with your audience. If you are not sure how to go about creating a Twitter DM marketing strategy, you should try using a social media management tool to automate your tweets. A social media management tool will help you respond to messages quickly and build rapport with your audience. Try signing up for a free trial today to see how it can benefit you.<\/p>\n<p>A DM is a private message sent to a particular person. It is not appropriate to publicly respond to every message. But sending a DM shows your customer that you care about their privacy. If a customer contacts you through social media to report a problem with their order, it would be a great idea to DM them and offer a solution. However, do not spam other users with personal information. You can also use a DM to welcome new followers and follow up with customer queries.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" width=\"446\" height=\"249\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/-9m2ylpsXyQ\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Send DM on Twitter If you&#8217;re curious to know how to send DM on Twitter, there are a few things you need to know.
