Is Social Media just a fad, or can it benefit your business?
First, understand that social networking is nothing new. Just like you may talk about your business at a Chamber of Commerce function or networking happy hour, you can talk about your business online. But more importantly, you can listen online too - getting feedback from customers about their wants, needs, suggestions - and when you respond, you create a relationship that does not exist otherwise.
Some quick stats found in the video "Is social media a fad?" from Socialnomics:
- 96% of Gen Y'ers have joined a social network (e.g. Facebook, MySpace, Twitter)
- 1 out of 8 couples married in 2008 in the U.S. met on a social network!
- Years to reach 50 million users:
Radio - 38
TV - 13
ipod - 3
Facebook doubled that in just 9 months!
- 80% of Twitter usage is on a mobile device. Imagine what that means for bad customer experiences...
- 35% of Amazon book sales are for Kindle
