Sure, you have a Twitter business account, but how much do you really know about Twitter? Here are 10 things that may surprise you about Twitter (which have been taken from a really impressive list of “100 Facts and Figures About Twitter, and Why they Matter for Your Business”):
• 28% of users look for discounts and sales on Twitter
• 37% of users will make a purchase from a brand they follow on Twitter
• 42% of Twitter users learn about products/services on Twitter
• 49% of users follow brands or companies on Twitter
• 53% of users don’t post updates, but they still check Twitter regularly to read tweets

• 70% of small businesses are on Twitter
• 85% of Twitter users feel more connected to small businesses they follow
• Twitter users are 300% more likely to follow brands than Facebook users

Twitter users are looking for discounts and information about products/services, and if they're not interacting with businesses, they're still listening to what businesses have to say. It’s important to connect with consumers to have a positive brand impact and help encourage them to purchase later on.
