Launching a marketing campaign without knowing where your audience lives is like throwing a dart blindfolded and hoping it hits the target. A few months ago, I faced this exact challenge. I needed to understand the geographic distribution of my Twitter followers to enhance my social media strategy. However, Twitter’s native tools didn’t provide an easy way to map follower locations, leaving me grappling with the challenge of manually tracking and analyzing geographic data.
That’s when I discovered a tool that completely transformed my approach. Here’s my journey and how you can leverage Circleboom's Tweet Mapper for your strategic route planning.
