A big part of social media marketing is branding. It’s hard to brand yourself or your business on Twitter using the default backgrounds that most people use.
If you really want to stand out from the crowd, it is a good idea to invest in a custom Twitter background that people are likely to remember.
MyTweetSpace.com
Although the website offers free backgrounds as well, the real value is in purchasing a customized background.
As of this writing, MyTweetSpace.com will create a completely custom, professional looking Twitter background for as little as $89.00. The website also has an excellent portfolio that is sure to inspire you with ideas.
Fiverr.com
Who wouldn’t want a custom Twitter background for five bucks? Like many of the other services on Fiverr, there are numerous vendors who are willing to create an inexpensive custom Twitter background for you.
It is critically important that you check the person’s feedback before you hire them. Not all people on Fiverr provide the same level of quality service. See what other customers have said about a person’s work before you hire him or her.
SocialIdentities.com
With prices starting at $99.00, Social Identities, formerly known as Twitter Image, is more expensive than the previous two websites, but they do work for a large number of high profile clients like ProBlogger’s Darren Rowse.
Their website contains 13 pages of breathtaking portfolio examples. If you’re looking for a visually stunning Twitter background, Social Identities should rank high on your list of potential designers to consider.
99designs.com
This website is slightly different from the others on this list because it is more of a design bidding site. What makes 99 Designs noteworthy though is that they claim to have a team of 113,622 designers who compete to design your custom Twitter background.
You list a project and designers who are interested will submit spec designs for you to consider and you can request revisions.
You set your own budget, but you are obligated to pick one of the final designs; however, the choice of which design you purchase is your decision.
Twitter-Images.com
Twitter Images offers a combination of free, partially custom and completely custom backgrounds.
You can download a free background and customize it yourself, have one of their designers customize a free background for you for $9.99 or hire them to create a completely custom background from scratch for $79.00. They have a nice selection of different options.
There are custom Twitter background options available to suit almost everyone’s budget.
How much or how little you want to invest in your Twitter profile background is entirely up to you. What’s most important is to find the design firm that you feel will best suit your needs and help you create the image you want to project.
