Millennials who make purchases via Twitter aren’t shelling out too much. Nearly three-quarters of respondents spent $49 or less when buying something via Twitter, compared with 54% who said the same about Facebook. Twitter purchasers were also the most likely to spend less than $20 by at least 10 percentage points, and no respondents spent over $100 through the site.
Twitter’s audience is largely millennial, presenting a good social channel for those targeting this cohort. In September 2014, Pew Research Center found that 37% of US internet users ages 18 to 29 used Twitter, compared with 25% of 30- to 49-year-olds and around 10% of the 50-and-older group. Meanwhile, Cowen and Company found in November 2014 that US internet users spent 23.5 minutes each day with Twitter, compared with an average of 17.1 minutes for the entire adult population. In all, 18- to 29-year-olds accounted for 33% of Twitter users. Read the rest at eMarketer.
