Sojern RevDirect vs. X Ads

Sojern is well suited for those who are measuring ROI and are looking to have more direct bookings to the website. Google has made it increasingly more difficult to book directly on a website. I believe it takes about three clicks to get to a website through Google listings and Sojern has made it easier for us to make our websites more visible in rankings. The same goes for OTAs, with Sojern we have a better means of combating pesky OTAs.

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.

• Drives booking to our websites.
• Helps us to better understand traveler profiles.

• 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.

• For those who don't analyze data on a daily basis it would be beneficial to have simple descriptions of the collected data.

• 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.

Sojern combines all of these platforms into one and makes information more accessible and easier to read among analysts. With Sojern we can easily make changes to ads created in order to boost ROI. Our company selected Sojern as a means to better our quality production and to lessen the time spent on adjusting content and analyzing data.

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.

• Sojern has had a positive impact on our impression share.
• Sojern has had a positive impact on our ROI across the board.

• 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.
