We love to listen. We love to talk. That's why at Precise English we embrace social media.
With over 85% of the UK population now online, and a significant number registered on a social network, social media optimisation is imperative if you want to reach your target audience efficiently. Information from Simply Zesty and Facebook suggests that of the 85% of people in the UK who are now online:
- 1/3 have uploaded to a video sharing site like YouTube
- 85% have watched a video
- 1/4 write their own blogs, while 60% read blogs
- 64%, and rising, have their own profile on a social networking site like Facebook or Twitter.
According to research, the average user time on social media websites is six hours, seven minutes and 54 seconds per month, while one in three adults agree that they "could not live without the Internet".
OK, so we've explained how popular social media platforms are, but what can they do for your business?
Whether you're a business owner or are in charge of a marketing budget, social media optimisation should be alongside SEO copywriting at the top of your list. Why?
- 78% of UK Internet users look online for information about goods and services
- 70% trust online recommendations from strangers
- 90% trust online recommendations from people they know
- 20% of tweets (on Twitter) contain a reference to a product or brand
- A visitor arriving on your website from a social network site is ten times more likely to enquire or make a purchase than any other visitor. This is an incredible discovery that underlines how important social media optimisation is.
The problem with social media optimisation is that it can be extremely costly in terms of the time required to learn what sites are best and to set up each profile correctly. However, it doesn't stop there! To make a real impression online you need to post frequent and relevant tweets and status updates, along with regular customer interaction and special offer updates.
