Translation: B2B Social Media Success
Social media has taken the online marketing world by storm. Don’t believe us? Every day:
- There are 5,700 tweets written and posted per second
- Internet users generate 70 times the information contained in the Library of Congress
- Facebook is used by 728 million people
And that’s just the tip of the iceberg. Consumers have transitioned into the world of multiscreen experiences. They’ll start a search on a smartphone, then use their tablet to find more information, and potentially transition to their laptop to make a purchase. Regardless of the path they take or device they use, one thing stays the same: consumers are searching for your company online.
Searchers have begun to rely heavily on social media and search to find local businesses. 97% of consumers use search to find local businesses, while 20-somethings are anywhere from twice to four times as likely to seek information and advice from social media as generations before them.
