Why is Twitter the right advertising channel for international business?

If you're looking for new channels to promote your business internationally and haven't thought about Twitter yet, it might be time to do so.

Twitter is definitely not the most used social network in Bulgaria, but let's look more globally:

It is most prevalent in the US, where it ranks second in consumption after Facebook, followed by Japan, the UK and Saudi Arabia.

On Twitter, people learn and discuss the most interesting topics of the day. Many politicians make important statements with their tweets. The most followed profile for 2020 is that of Barack Obama with 118 million followers, and that of Donald Trump ranks eighth with 80 million followers.

And what are the hallmarks of Twitter users?

According to a study done in the US:

• 80% of users say they like to find interesting content, vs. 73% of all online users
• 12% of them learn the news first on Twitter
• Many of the memes start from there
• Consumers are younger, have higher education and higher incomes relative to the U.S. population as a whole
• Users are 31% more likely to recall information they saw on Twitter

Twitter's most valuable asset and what sets it apart from other social networks is its audience. People who use it around the world are curious, like to share their opinions with others (they are opinion leaders), want to discover interesting content and are very willing to engage with it.
