A frequently asked question about the social media platform Twitter, is: when is the best time to tweet? By this, people are really asking:

• “When is the best time to tweet?”
• “How can I increase engagement and conversation?”
• “How can I get more people to retweet my tweets?”

Determining this is no easy feat, and in my view it really depends on who your target market is, where they are in the world, why they use Twitter (for business or for pleasure), and on and on and on. However, Buddy Media recently published a report titled “Strategies for Effective Tweeting: A Statistical Review.” The report is based on the data compiled from their analysis of user-engagement from over 320 Twitter profiles managed by various brands.  Based on their data they make several recommendations for how best to maximize the use of Twitter as a business. The folks at Fuseworks put this data together in a nice, easy to read infographic: Additional resources about when to tweet can be found at: Social Media Today: How Often Should You Tweet Today Made: How Often Should I Tweet Christopher Penn: When is the Best Time to Tweet 2012 Edition Check out Wishpond’s Twitter Campaigns to boost your ROI – whenever you Tweet – using contests and promotions.
