CHARACTER LIMIT ON TWITTER AND DIGITAL MARKETING
When it comes to digital marketing, social media
plays a huge role in generating brand awareness, promoting your products, and
connecting with your target audience. Each social channel serves key demographics,
and different platforms have varying levels of functionality that allow you to
communicate your brand message in different ways.
Facebook has always been the home of the ‘longform’
post, where you can talk for days about what it is that you do and how you do
it. LinkedIn is the professional network, where you communicate in a more
formal setting. Instagram is the visual platform where images do the talking,
and Twitter has always been the channel where busy users scan succinct posts
for key information.
Brands have got used to the way that these channels
work, tailoring their writing to get the most out of the post. That was until
Twitter changed its character-limit from 140 to 280. This got us thinking, Will
this have an impact on the way that businesses communicate with their audiences
on Twitter?
Businesses should take full advantage of the longer
character count because users will take the time to read over the longer
tweets. Whether the tweets contain images or not, users still engage more with
the longer tweet – so if you feel that you need to use the full 280 characters
to express your brand’s message, then you should.
