A BBC reported today on an annual survey highlighting the time spent on social media now overtakes that of TV, with 15 year old's spending on average 4.8 hours per day. What does this mean for marketers and advertisers? It's clear, go where the customers go, on to Social Media!
Clearly this report focuses on young people but Social Media has been around for some time now, Facebook was founded in 2004, therefore it shows the trend is amongst all age groups.
I come across many people suggesting that their business isn't social and therefore not suitable for social media. I would of course disagree, even if you are a firm of accountants, I'm confident that the vast majority of their clients will be on Facebook, therefore why not build the relationship further on Facebook?
