Based off of this example, here’s what Wadlington recommends:

  • Stay away from all caps: This sounds like shouting and could project a feeling of anger.
  • Use percentages: According to internal research, percentages are more effective than dollar signs.
  • Fewer hashtags: Go easy on hashtags, especially when you’re trying to get people to click on a website link.
  • Use website cards: It may be more effective to use a website card (ad unit) instead of a plain URL.

With these recommendations taken into account, here’s what the revised tweet would look like.

The example above demonstrates the following changes

  • Removed all caps
  • Changed copy to “for a limited time” (a gentler way to show urgency)
  • No hashtags to distract people from where you want them to go (which is the website link)
