The San Francisco micro-blogging site is positioned to generate $260 million in sales next year. That's up 87 percent from a projection of $139 million in 2011, according to a just-released report by eMarketer.
While this year's sales is slightly below eMarketer's previous projection of $150 million, the growth is still nearly a three-fold jump from the $45 million generated in 2010. The 2011 downward adjustment is due to a slower rollout of global sales offices and self-serve ad offerings.
By 2013, eMarketer estimates Twitter’s worldwide ad revenues to reach the $400-million mark. This substantial take-off in estimates is based on the positive returns Twitter has seen in the promoted tweets that were launched in April of 2010 and the discussion of integrating promotion tweets right into account timelines (rather than in a column to the side of the platform.)
Twitter’s promoted tweets system often starts out as a standard tweet created by a brand and, if it is getting some traction on the platform, the company can pay to “promote” the content.
Kimberly Maul, an analyst from eMarketer told Vator News that the pricing on the promoted tweets is based on an auction format and specific numbers are not available but can vary.
Another substantial method of advertising offered on the site involves promoting a trend. For this Twitter can check and see what hashtags are gaining a lot of traction and then companies can pay to be featured when a person clicks on a hashtag and is directed to a page of similarly categorized content, then their brand of content will be featured somewhere on the page.
In June 2010, Twitter added a promoted trends advertising opportunity that moves a brand sponsored hashtag to the top of the trending column and denotes that it is a promotional trend.
According to Adam Bain, Twitter’s president for global revenue, in an interview with eMarketer, promoted trends are priced at $120,000 per day. The price was raised earlier this year “in response, partly, to market demand,” Bain told eMarketer.
The newest form of advertising that was added to Twitter, this month, was political advertisements. Mitt Romney’s presidential campaign was among the first to leverage this ad product.
Maul said that the ads that are the most effective on Twitter are ones that incorporate a deal, discount or exclusive content. She said that this is because Twitter users are “more likely to share or re-tweet these ads, which gives them a higher engagement rate, and therefore, more success.”
