The Power of Social Media for Business

The statistics for Facebook are staggering. There are 365m Facebook users worldwide and 39m users in the UK alone.

Let’s assume that on average each Facebook user has 150 friends.

You post an interesting message or offer about your product/brand on Facebook. For every user who “Likes” your message then another 150 users see that recommendation. For every one of them who “Like” your message another 150 become engaged. You can see how quickly interest in a subject can grow – crossing all borders.

Your message/offer may have a limited lifespan but the trick is to keep developing new ideas. If there is no better way to grow business than word of mouth then Facebook has to be the biggest mouth around!
