Afternoon Tweets Have Greater Impact
When is the best time to tweet? Well a new study may have answered just that.
Dan Zarella of HubSpot thinks that the best time to Tweet is 5 p.m. EST. His data found that forty-eight percent of tweets are from the Eastern time zone, 33 percent are from the Central time zone, and 14 percent are from the Western time zone, meaning it is best to send tweets considering the eastern time zone.
Zarrella’s research also found that people are more likely to click on Twitter links at the end of the week and on weekends, specifically Friday, Saturday and Sunday. As marketers, we need to remember to send content and contribute to conversations even on the weekend.
Tweeting consistently will allow you to achieve maximum impact for your Tweets, and gain increased exposure for your brand.
