The Importance
of Social Media
   in Today’s
 Business World
In 2012, over ¾ of the U.S.’s
population will be online.
Over 114 million will be
mobile internet users, with
106.7 million Smartphone
users.
Almost 2/3 of web users will
be on social media.
There are over 800
million active
Facebook users.
Over 200 million of those were
added in 2011.
As the web’s most visited site,
Americans spend more time
on Facebook than any other
US website.
More than half of FB users log
in every day. The average
user has 130 friends and is
connected to 80 pages,
events, or groups.
It is said if you post at least
once every day, you will
reach at least 22% of their
fans a week.
The average FB user spends
20 minutes on their account
during each visit, logging on
3-4 times a week.
Over 80 % of all
Americans use social
networking.
91% of American adults
access some sort of social
media each month.
98% of 18-24 year olds access
S.M. accounts monthly.
1/5 users visit another S.M. site
after leaving one.
That is why it is important to integrate
SM with website and email.
40% access their social media
accounts through mobile
devices. 70% of updates are
made from a mobile device.
Almost 23% of
online time is
spent on social
networks.
Americans
spend around
13 hours a
week online.
Social Media users are more
         active offline
45% more likely to go on a
date.
47% more likely to spend
more on clothing, shoes, and
accessories.
53% of active social
networkers follow brands.
Why Small Businesses use
Social Media:

•Connecting with Customers
•Visibility
•Self-promotion
•Get News Out Quickly
50% of Small Business
owners using social
media reported gaining
new customers through
their social media
usage.
However, 60% spend less
than $100 on social media,
and 74% don’t employ
anyone to manage their
social media marketing.
51% of Facebook users
and 64% of Twitter users
are more likely to buy form
the brands they follow.
How can you
        implement social
            media?
  Despite the hype, a majority of small
businesses haven’t used Social Media. This
   is changing as the benefits become
      clearer and results more obvious.
Find the medium for
your message.

•Where do your
customers visit?

•What do you want your
brand to be known for?
How can you stand
   out in the crowd?

Creatively integrate Social Media into
      your marketing and ads.
 Create a buzz about your business
   and build your audience with
   giveaways, pictures, videos…
