Text ads can only be 280 characters long, while images can have a width of up to 600 pixels. For images, the aspect ratio must be 16:9 for mobile devices. Users cannot mix the aspect ratios within the same carousel. Image dimensions are important because they will affect the ad&#8217;s readability.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Limitation_of_ad_copy_to_280_characters\"><\/span>Limitation of ad copy to 280 characters<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>With limited space for ad copy, advertisers must make their messages short and concise. Twitter ads are limited to 280 characters, so any link in the ad will reduce the character count by 23. The best file type for image and video ads is PNG or JPEG. Both image and video files should be no larger than 5 MB. Twitter also allows videos of up to one GB.<\/p>\n<p>The character limit for a Facebook ad is 280 characters. Twitter has not, but it is still an effective limit for tweets. However, you should keep in mind that you can use Unicode glyphs to make the message as long as it fits in. Some glyphs count as more than one character, depending on its weight. So, the 280 character limit for a Twitter ad is slightly more restrictive than the character limit for Facebook ads.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Cost_of_running_a_Twitter_ad_campaign\"><\/span>Cost of running a Twitter ad campaign<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Depending on the budget you choose, you can either set a daily or total budget for your Twitter ad campaign. You can also set a budget for promoted content by selecting either a standard or &#8220;accelerated&#8221; cadence. Accelerated ads show your ad as much as possible throughout the day. This is a good option if you&#8217;re looking to maximize your budget. If you want your campaign to run as long as possible, set a total budget for the campaign and pay that amount each day.<\/p>\n<p>The cost of running a Twitter ad campaign varies depending on the types of billable actions your ad gets. The actions you want your followers to take may include more followers, app installs, website clicks, video views, and more. Each marketing objective will impact the price of the ad campaign. Twitter doesn&#8217;t have a standard rate for each of these actions, but rather lets you set the price yourself through its auction model.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Billing_options\"><\/span>Billing options<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>There are several ways to set up billing options for Twitter ads. For example, you can set your maximum bid to control how much money you&#8217;re willing to spend. Twitter bills you based on the number of people who engage with your ads. If you&#8217;d like to set a target bid that corresponds to the cost per day for ad placement, you can do so under the Details tab. You can also adjust the target audience to fit your specific needs.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to the standard billing options, you can also set your campaign to pay for promoted trends. Promoted trends are featured high in the feed and will appear for a set amount of time. They also cost a flat fee per thousand impressions. Twitter has several billing options, including CPM, CPE, and CPF. You can choose which one is best for your campaign by checking your Twitter Ads Manager and getting a GET account for the new type.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Customization_options\"><\/span>Customization options<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>When it comes to targeting your audience, Twitter has made a number of changes that make it easier than ever to tailor your ad to your target audience. Branded hashtags, for example, provide the potential for visual elements and can be used to highlight specific features or use-cases. Branded hashtags have a significant impact on user behavior and have prompted brands to spend $1 million or more on Twitter ads. Furthermore, you can target specific audiences with Twitter ads based on demographics, interests, and even lookalike audiences.<\/p>\n<p>Once you&#8217;ve created an ad account, you&#8217;ll want to choose the type of targeting you want to use for your campaign. Twitter ads can be paced Standard or Accelerated, which can be beneficial for short-term campaigns. You&#8217;ll also have the ability to enter details about your ad group, demographics, device information, and creatives. Once you&#8217;ve chosen the type of targeting you&#8217;d like, the next step is to choose the ad creatives.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe height=\"229\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" width=\"410\" frameborder=\"0\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/1kHdtHrxZ0s\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What Are the Specs for Twitter Ads?
