Small businesses are not hitting it off with social media, according to an August 2009 study from Citibank.
As you can see on the graph more than three quarters of US small business Executives are really not convinced by social networks.
"According to an online survey by Internet2Go and MerchantCircle, 45% of small-business owners use Facebook to promote their business, and 46% have a Twitter account. In total, 53% had created a social network profile." - eMarketer
According to the “Global Web Index” from Lightspeed Research by exploring the European trends in social media involvement, the impact of social media in which we will evolve in the next months will be due to the increase of social recommandations and social media research.
If we look further, Russia and UK will lead in social networking and, on the other hand, Germany and UK will be most purchase orientated.
The social media research will definitely lead in the purchase comparison and the word of mouth will stay number 1 purchase choice according to the surveyed consumers.
And to finish, and it's not the first time we encounter such answers: motivations regarding the use of social networks are clearly defined by "staying in touch with friends" and not only on Facebook.
173,045,325 citizens gathered at over 3,000 events in more than 120 countries, demanding that their governments eradicate extreme poverty and achieve the Millennium Development Goals. "Stand Up, Take Action, End Poverty Now!", has been certified by Guinness World Records as the a new world record and remains the largest mobilization of human beings in recorded history. Thank you for Standing with us!
Most US companies measure the success of their marketing programs by the number of new customers acquired and leads generated.
Corporate websites are still the best method to communicate, with social media and custom content and media: the social web is definitely good for your ROI.
