SocialMedia

What is “social media”? And why should you hire Kansas City social media agency K2Media to help your business navigate the social media waters?

“Social media” is a phrase used to describe social interaction through the use of technology via text, images, audio and video. Though that may sound vague, you’ve already heard of (and may even already use) some of the most popular social media tools on the internet – Facebook, Snapchat, Instagram, Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube, Flickr, blogs, consumer review sites.

Social media has changed the landscape of marketing and traditional media. And it is more than just creating a website or a Facebook profile. Three out of four online adults in the United States are having conversations using the internet’s social tools to connect. They share opinions and experiences and, sometimes even, talk about your business and industry. Social media is about these conversations.

Because of social media, marketing is now a two-way street – no longer can companies afford to send out their message without listening to the response and engaging customers and potential customers in a more personal relationship.

Consider these statistics:

  • Social Media is the #1 activity on the internet
  • Facebook has over 1.86 billion monthly active users (Dec 31, 2016) – it is more visited than Google on a weekly basis
  • More than 1.74 billion active users currently access Facebook through their mobile devices
  • On any given day, Snapchat reaches 41% of all 18 to 34 year-olds in the United States.
  • There are 313 million monthly active users on Twitter (June 2016) worldwide
  • 93% of social media users believe that a company should have a presence in social media
  • Millenials and Generation Y are close to outnumbering Baby Boomers – and this generation spends more than 16 hours each week online, 96% of them belong to online social networks and they wield $350 billion a year in spending power
  • 78% of consumers trust peer recommendations; 14% trust traditional advertising

Your customers are using social media. Why aren’t you?
