Brands Are Tweeting Four Times More in 2013 Compared to 2012.

Brands Are Tweeting Four Times More in 2013 Compared to 2012. | Public Relations & Social Marketing Insight | Scoop.it

Are brands finally getting the Twitter picture? The big ones are, at least.

Every year Brandwatch analyzes how over 250 leading brands are using Twitter. This includes everything from the platforms they use to their levels of engagement. This year, the report showed almost full adoption of Twitter among the businesses that were analyzed.

In 2013, brands have tweeted at least 30 times a week on average, four times the 2012 average. This is a positive especially when paired with the news that 60% of brands are using Twitter for both broadcasting and engagement purposes. Businesses are beginning to understand that Twitter is a two-way channel, to be used for more than advertising and marketing (for brands that are good at engagement, check out @ESPN@PlayStation and @Disney). Top brands are increasingly using social media within customer service, HR, and sales....

Jeff Domansky's insight:

There is traffic and the impact of mobile but it seems Brands are starting to see value and ROI. Or are they?

Analyze Your Twitter Account with ReTweetLab for More ReTweets | Dan Zarrella

Analyze Your Twitter Account with ReTweetLab for More ReTweets | Dan Zarrella | Public Relations & Social Marketing Insight | Scoop.it

One of my favorite topics to research is ReTweeting. I have several very large (millions and hundreds of millions of rows) datasets that I use to do my analysis. The results of my research with these databases are best practices, generated across many industries, timezones, account types and languages. This data is a great starting point for your experimentation.


The best data is always your data. 


So I created a free tool, ReTweetLab that allows you to do the same kind of analysis that I conduct on my large datasets on your account (or any other Twitter account you want).

Jeff Domansky's insight:

I can't say enough about that Zarrella. His knowledge of social media measurement is super and he is a super approachable, sharing guy. By creating this new, free, Twitter analytical tool, the insight you gain could not only increase the number of reTweets, it could make your overall effectiveness much higher.


ReTweet Lab instantly analyzes a segment of your personal or business Twitter stream and delivers up to a dozen benchmarks worth analyzing and taking action to improve what you do.


Highly recommended. 10/10

Statistics were never my strong point, but these graphs sure makes an impact.

2013 Twitter research includes charts and top media/marketing sources on Twitter. Social media users are finding ways to maximize content distribution. 

 

What I took away from this article:

- Roughly four out five marketers tweet using the Twitter website or tweet buttons

- 80% of the content shared on Twitter by marketers is media; 45% is mainstream media and 35% is industry specific media
