Facebook continues improving its platform, and Twitter expands into advertising. Twitter advertising is more cost-effective and offers greater potential. Brands could see huge growth if Facebook can keep up with Twitter's momentum. While Facebook's size and polish are important to certain campaigns, Twitter is more important for other campaigns. Twitter's algorithm as well as its reach are vital. In this article, we compare Twitter advertising to Facebook advertising and highlight the pros and cons of both.
Cost per click
Cost per click (CPC), is the cost that you pay each time your ad gets clicked. This cost for Facebook is lower on weekdays and higher on weekends. This means that the cost of an ad can fluctuate as much as 10 Cents. This fluctuation can be more noticeable on weekends since fewer people are online. It depends on your business' nature whether you run your campaign on weekends. For instance, cold drinks and ice creams sell better on warm summer nights than they do in winter. People are more likely on Friday nights to order fast food than they are during the week.
Facebook ads have a cost per click of $0.50 to $1.72. CPL has a slightly higher price. Although both options require you to bid an amount, the difference in cost is not as great as you might think. CPC is a popular choice for social media advertising. However, established brands also use it to stay top of mind. Whatever your bidding strategy, a professional specialist in social media can help you make the most of your social-media advertising efforts.
Network reach
If you're looking to advertise on social networks, you should understand that the engagement varies among the two platforms. Twitter's reach is significantly larger than Facebook's. Both are primarily mobile platforms. The average smartphone user spends more than two hours per day on apps. This article will focus on the most popular social media apps and compare their reach.
Facebook's reach is greater because of its 140 million users. Twitter's audience may be smaller but its speed and lightning-fast nature appeal to world leaders, journalists and politicians. Facebook now accounts for 57% in all social media advertising budgets.
The social networks also offer different ad formats. On Facebook, you can choose from nearly a dozen different ad formats, whereas Twitter offers just three. Despite the differences in ad formats, both are likely to increase your brand's exposure.
Revenue per visitor
One key difference between Facebook, Twitter and other social media platforms is their engagement rates. Facebook has more users, and has a larger audience. Twitter has a smaller audience. Both networks offer advertising options. Facebook however has a higher rate of engagement. Twitter encourages regular tweeting. Both platforms are worth exploring for your marketing campaigns.
Facebook is the top social media site, but Twitter is growing quickly and is poised to go public. Twitter is still popular with advertisers, but some have dropped it due to low engagement and low revenue. Currently, Facebook has a higher revenue per visitor than Twitter, but Twitter continues to lose market share in social referred visits. Facebook had 1.2bn monthly active Facebook users, 874 million mobile users, 254million of which used mobile devices. Twitter only had 230 million total users at the end of September, and was up over seventy percent in the year.
Twitter also offers a simpler interface and better results for advertisers looking to increase brand awareness. Twitter's CPM costs are higher than Facebook's, at $3.50 per impression compared with $0.59 for Facebook.
