Best Time To Post On Twitter By Industry

Here’s when you can expect the most Twitter activity in your industry.

  • B2C Businesses: People use Twitter all day because it’s so frequently updated, but catching people when they’re waking up and winding down lines up with when most people do their heaviest web browsing.
  • B2B Businesses: The same story applies whether you’re in B2C or B2B.
  • Software Businesses: Promoting software services on Twitter differs from B2B and B2C in that it’s best to catch people when they’re in a work mindset and are taking a break from their tasks or heading home.
  • Healthcare Companies: Catching people when they’re waking up or right when they’re settling down for the evening is best for healthcare.
  • Media Companies: Media companies and bloggers are some of the heaviest publishers of Twitter content. While it’s advisable to maintain a consistent stream of content throughout the day here, reference the peak times shown above to pick your best times.
  • Higher Education: Mornings and evenings produce the highest engagement for higher education.
