Introduction

A Promoted Tweet is a Twitter ad type which looks like a standard tweet.

This ad type is used to reach a larger group of users who could be interested in your business and drive engagement from existing followers. You should use Promoted Tweets if you want to promote engaging content in order to drive website traffic and promote specific offers and deals. It’s also useful to drive brand awareness by expanding content from your website, a blog post or an event. As with standard tweets, users can retweet, reply and add Promoted Tweets as favorites.
