BannerFlow vs. X Ads

BannerFlow is perfect for smaller companies without the bandwidth or team of a full graphic design department. It simplifies the creation of banners significantly as there are widgets, templates, and other intuitive tools to create engaging dynamic advertisements. The analytics of advertisements helps too, it is easy to adjust your ads accordingly in minimal time.

Twitter is well suited for brands seeking to effectively manage and tweak their advertising campaign, while also interacting in real-time with people who stumble on their ads, thus maximizing optimal result. It is also my suggested ad platform for brands who want to target the younger generation, especially millennials and those born in the 1990s.

• Ease of use. It's very simple to add new creative to an existing campaign, or to quickly promote a tweet.
• Reporting. I appreciate the dashboard that shows how many organic and paid impressions tweets have received, as well as the resulting engagements.
• Low-lift advertising. The new auto-promote option makes it so I don't have to choose which tweets I want to promote.

• Limitation of characters to only 140.
• While the targeting of Twitter is relevant most of the time, it is not always right and there are some ads that are completely unrelated to the search terms entered.
• Not as many users as Facebook.

Twitter ads are not the best way for people to promote things because they do not pop out enough on people's feeds.

The tool is ok to use, and ads are becoming more skippable on Twitter, so we are unsure as a company if it's still a good channel for direct response messaging. It does not perform as efficiently as other social platforms for lower funnel marketing. It does well for awareness campaigns that are set and forget, but optimizing for DR is not as efficient when you are trying to manage the ads on the client side.

Bannerflow has an intuitive UI and faster integrations with internal tools. It is easy to upload multiple files and just get started with creative editing and experimentation by experimenting with sizes, content, colors and multiple other factors- which is not as extensive across other software. Bannerflow offers better pricing compared to Celtra and the likes

Compared to Facebook Ads or Instagram Ads, Twitter Ads was more expensive. However, when we only look at the conversions rate of Twitter Ads, it always had way higher numbers, mainly because it is conversation driven and allows for the customer to speak directly to you as a business owner in a 2 way conversation.

• One Positive Impact has been that having ads running has increased the number of followers we have on Twitter.
• Another positive impact is that due to having more followers, we now have more visits to our site.
• A mixed impact would be that positively, since we have Adwords implemented as well, we can track back the source of our website traffic to being from a social source like Twitter. The negative of it is that Twitter ads does not have the tracking capability and we still need Google Adwords to do so.
