In 2010, Twitter reported that 145 million people now have accounts on their network which, as a whole, sends out a staggering 80 million tweets per day! Facebook also states that there are 500 million people using Facebook, with 250,000 more joining daily. Breakdowns also reveal that approximately 15 million people who live in Canada use Facebook.
From a marketing perspective, the social networking realm represents huge opportunity for building brand awareness and understanding your consumer group. And if you think your target group does not use Facebook, consider this: According to eMarketer.com, 47% of 50-to-64-year-old internet users and 26% of seniors (aged 65 and up) indicate that they are now using Facebook and LinkedIn.
However, the question to consider is not whether social networking is a powerful advertising and marketing medium, but how can businesses take advantage of the opportunities presented by sites like Facebook and Twitter.
