Eye-catching
conclusions
1   The social media
    landscape is rather
    stable
Social Media around the World 2012 (by InSites Consulting)
Awareness of social network
sites is very high. Facebook is
close to 100%, Twitter reaches
80% awareness and Google+ is
known by 70%.

More than 7 out of 10 internet
users are member of at least 1
social network. This implies that
more than 1.5 billion people use
social network sites.
The world is not waiting for the
next social network. In fact,
most people want to keep their
digital life as it is.
No need for something new and
no intention to quit.

On average, people only join 1 or 2
social networks.

The Twitter & Google+
paradoxes are living evidence for
this conclusion: both sites are very
well known, but their adoption is
still rather low.
Consumers are willing to join ‘unique’ new social networks




Awareness of new social networks like Instagram and Pinterest is picking up.
25% know Instagram, 24% are aware of Pinterest.

Further, users show a very high intention to use both sites more in the future.
2   Mobile is the perfect
    accelerator for social
    media usage
Boost in adoption
of smart phones:
51% of internet users
have a smartphone,
most have a data
subscription on it.
On average, people install
22 apps on their
smartphone, 9 of which are
used at least weekly.
Social network apps are the
most popular ones.
53% of smartphone
users compare prices
during shopping via
their smartphone.
3   Consumers connect
    and interact with a
    limited set of brands
Consumers are
more positive than
you might think.
More than half of their
comments about
brands are positive.
Fewer than 10% are
negative.
50% post information about products, brands
and/or companies on social networks.

consumers vis-à-vis brands:

2.   Do promotions
3.   Give away free stuff
4.   Bring news
5.   Use us in co-creation projects
4   Consumers reach
    out to brands:
    we want to help you!
8/10 consumers want
to help in co-creation
projects of companies
they like.
The only thing they ask
in return: give us
feedback on what you do
with our input.
Market research communities
are highly appreciated by
consumers.
36% prefer to participate in a
branded research community.
These communities come second
after a Facebook community.
Consumers believe that their
feedback will have a high impact
in a research community. The
latter is their key motivation to
help brands.
The customer is open to co-creation, but
many companies are not. The challenge is to
integrate the vision of the customer in every
organization, all the way to the boardroom.
Consumers
are probably the
most effective
consultants your
company can hire.
5   Opportunity for brands
    to optimize conversation

only used the
first dimension

Social media behavior
1.


The facts about social media
around the world
Almost 100% of people are aware of Facebook. About 80% have heard of
Twitter and 7 out of 10 people are aware of Google+. Facebook still owns
the social media landscape as more than 60% of the internet population
uses Facebook. Twitter and Google+ have a population of about the same
size (about 20% penetration). However, Twitter usage frequency is a lot
higher than Google+’s.

Around the world we see the same trend: social networks are part of the
daily lives of consumers. 6 out of 10 people go at least once a day to a
social network site.

The awareness of the new photo-sharing platforms Instagram and Pinterest
is still rather limited: 25% are aware of Instagram & 24% of Pinterest. The
results show that both sites have a very strong growth potential.
1.




The facts about social media
around the world
On average, people join 1-3 social networks. The majority have
an account at two sites. Fewer than 10% of people join 5 or
more social network sites.

LinkedIn has an awareness of about 40%. It remains a niche
B2B site with a very clear profile vis-à-vis the market and its
users.

The motivations to use social networks are communication with
friends & family, killing time, sharing photos and sharing
interesting information.
34




> 7 out of 10 internet
users are members of at
least 1 social network.

> 1.5 billion people are
using social networks.
Emerging markets such as
Argentina, Brazil & India have
the highest penetration of
social network usage. Further,
they have the highest usage
frequency and intensity as well.
On average, people join 2.1 social networks.
Most often this is Facebook in combination with
Twitter or LinkedIn. It will become difficult for
new platforms to find their place unless they offer
a complete new value. Instagram & Pinterest have
the highest possibility of finding their place.
LinkedIn continues to have relatively low
awareness. About 4 out of 10 internet
users are familiar with this social network.

LinkedIn keeps it strong niche position
with respect to the B2B market.

Actions on
social media
The key activities on social networks are related to
personal relationships and having fun. People go on
social media to share and read stuff from friends.
Spending time with brands comes last in people’s
priorities. Nevertheless, more than half of the people
do have an online relationship with at least 1 brand.

When people share information about brands,
Facebook and Vkontakte score very high. Further,
46% of the Pinterest users share content about brands
on this new platform. Twitter comes fourth as a place
where consumers share branded content.

Actions on
social media
Conversation starters to talk about brands are in the first
place product experiences, followed by promotions,
service, contests and new products. The impact of
advertising as a conversation starter is decreasing.

The vast majority of the branded content shared by
consumers is positive. Only a small minority of the content
is negative.

Branded conversations by someone that you know has the
highest impact. Conversation from brand fans have less
impact than conversations from ‘normal’ brand users.

InSites Consulting



 InSites Consulting was established in 1997 and, although a marketing
 research company, the founders never really wanted to be market
 researchers. InSites Consulting is in fact a fantastic mix of academic
 visionaries, passionate marketers and research innovators who are
 determined to challenge the status quo of marketing research. Over the
 last 10 years the company has grown at an amazing 35% a year. Today,
 there are more than 130 employees working in five offices (US, RO, UK,
 NL, BE) getting their energy from helping world-leading brands to improve
 their marketing efforts and to develop deeper connections with
 consumers on a global scale via Research Communities. InSites
 Consulting has been rewarded with no fewer than 15 international
 awards. The recipe for success: a never-flagging enthusiasm, a lot of
 hard work, a culture of sharing, and continuous innovation in research
 methods and marketing thought leadership. And last but not least:
 positively surprising clients every day.
