Big news from Twitter today — self-serve Twitter advertising is coming for small businesses! Beginning in March, small businesses will be able to advertise on Twitter using Promoted Tweets and Promoted Accounts products without engaging a salesperson’s help. Payment will be handled via credit card.
According to the Twitter blog, the company has partnered with American Express to offer the new advertising solutions to small business owners. American Express Cardmembers and merchants in the United States will be invited to try the program first, and American Express is giving away 0 in free advertising to the first 10,000 eligible businesses that sign up.
Today is the first day that registration is open to participate in the initial launch. You can register here.
Twitter expects to roll out small business self-service advertising to a wider audience before the end of 2012.
