What is Social Media?

Something the kids know all about.

 

There is an estimated 6.91 billion people living on planet earth, in 195 different countries, located on 7 different continents. Networking with large groups of people using traditional forms of networking, is daily becoming harder and less fruitful. Social media was thus created to make an impossible task, become possible. Social media creates an easy 2 way conversation between you and your customers that is unlike any other traditional form of marketing. Social Media allows your customers and potential customers not only have a conversation about your business but they are able to engage you business, but a conversation with everyone they know. Statistics show that 67% of people are more likely to buy from the brands they follow on Twitter and 51% more likely with Facebook. 79% of people are more likely to recommend their Twitter followers to a friend. With over 96% of Generation Y having joined at least one social network, it becomes impeccable for you to become a part of their conversation. The question remains, are you social?
