In fact, one engagement action on Twitter for every 100 followers is already 1% engagement. Some industries perform better on Twitter than others. The highest average engagement rates were found in the Medical, Engineering, and Chemical industries. Those in the Professional Services and Machinery industries had the lowest rates.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"0045\"><\/span>0.045%<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Whether or not 0.045% is a good average engagement on Twitter depends on how frequently you post to the platform. Typically, influencers can expect nine to 33 reactions per thousand followers. However, some industries have higher engagement rates than others. To stay on top of your competition, you should aim for a minimum engagement rate of 1%. Here are some tips to achieve this goal. First, determine your audience. What are your audience&#8217;s interests? If they have a general idea of what you&#8217;re interested in, they are likely to be engaged with what you have to say.<\/p>\n<p>Next, analyze the type of content that attracts your target audience. A healthy engagement rate on Twitter should be between one and two percent. If you&#8217;re trying to get a high engagement rate, you should aim for five percent. But even if you can get that high, it&#8217;s still not enough. The average rate on Twitter is around 0.045%, so it&#8217;s best to aim for higher numbers.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"GIFs_receive_55_more_engagement\"><\/span>GIFs receive 55% more engagement<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>In an internal Twitter study, GIFs received 55% more engagement than tweets without them. The reason? They can capture the attention of an audience, convey a lot of information in a short amount of time, and boost engagement. Here are five reasons why brands should use GIFs for their Twitter marketing. For example, @QuickBooks partnered with DJ Khaled to create an enticing GIF series to promote the app to small business owners. The GIF combines multiple short animations, each zooming out to reveal the full size of the Miroverse. Product slideshow GIFs are another way to engage customers.<\/p>\n<p>Another reason GIFs are so effective on Twitter is that they can be used in many ways. Brands can create custom animations for their own Twitter accounts and use them in replies, DMs, and content as a whole. They can also become a permanent part of your Twitter strategy. In addition to increasing engagement, GIFs also help brands stand out from their competition. Instead of text and images, GIFs allow marketers to make a statement without having to explain it.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Higher_education_posts_get_22x_more_engagement\"><\/span>Higher education posts get 2.2x more engagement<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Brands in the higher education sector consistently outperform brands in other industries when it comes to social media. They post more often and enjoy a higher engagement rate than brands in other industries, and the reason may be that they&#8217;re aimed at college students. By creating posts that target college students and showcasing their campuses, they can get higher engagement rates and get more followers in the process. But how do they do this?<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Brand-to-brand_communication_isnt_as_high_on_Twitter\"><\/span>Brand-to-brand communication isn&#8217;t as high on Twitter<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>In addition to the fact that brand-to-brand communication isn&#8217;t nearly as high on Twitter, users are paying closer attention to the brands they follow. While brand-to-brand communication may not be as high on social media, users are increasingly expecting brands to speak up on behalf of social issues. Here are some examples of brands that do just that. In particular, @benandjerrys demonstrates the effectiveness of tweeting about its ice cream flavors and social issues.<\/p>\n<p>One of the major reasons why brand-to-brand communication isn&#8217;t so high on Twitter is that most Twitter accounts were focused on individual products or self-identified stakeholder groups. Despite this, a minority of Twitter accounts focused on job seekers, journalists, and public affairs and social issues. This suggests that smaller brands use Twitter for more one-way communication. However, this approach is not appropriate for larger companies.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Time_to_post_on_twitter\"><\/span>Time to post on twitter<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>In order to get the most out of your tweets, you need to know the best time to post on Twitter. Most articles recommend posting at the beginning of the day, between 8 and 10 AM. Similarly, you should post during the lunch hour, from 12 to 1 PM. The best days for B2B businesses are Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, while weekdays are best for B2C businesses. You can find out your audience&#8217;s interests by using Twitter Analytics.<\/p>\n<p>Tweets that are posted between 2 and 3 am get the most engagement, while tweets posted between 9 and 5 pm get the least. Similarly, tweets between 8 pm and 11 pm get the highest number of retweets and favorites. These times are the most engaging times on Twitter, since users are most active on the platform before they go to bed. However, these times may vary for your particular brand. Try posting during these times if your audience is most active.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe allowfullscreen=\"true\" width=\"364\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/DkqVLYFgk74\" height=\"203\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What is a Good Average Engagement Rate on Twitter?
