A review of 9,000 Twitter direct response ads revealed the following:
- The cost per acquisition (CPA) and click-through rate (CTR) of tweets including the terms hurry, fast, rapid, running out, and limited time are both 10% lower.
- Tweets with a character count between 40 and 60 have the lowest CPA.
- Tweets with questions have a 16% higher click-through rate.
- Contest-related tweets have a 40% lower CPA.
It seems worthwhile to test it out for other ad channels.
