Like Facebook's famous Cover Photo, Header Images are for Twitter. While individual user accounts can have personal pictures to anything of their choice, but when it comes to business accounts, there is a message you send out with every image that you post.
It is a marketing opportunity too. Remember how we spoke of the "relevancy" and "context" factors in our previous post on Facebook ads. This point can be typically applied to creating magic on your Twitter handles too.
It is an age of context marketing. Abstractness is good so long as the customers make a connection with your degree of "abstract ideas". So do not go too haywire or absolutely drag. In most cases the idea with putting up a header image is to recreate your brand imagery via logos, product descriptions, events, employee experiences etc. among the customer cliques.
Just funk up your Twitter business account with some of these image editing ideas that we have for you today:
