The Shocking Truth As many people use social media as use email!
Email and Text Messaging data source 2008 MRI
Google data source to ComScore
Social media data source 2008 Cone Institute Study
This number will only grow!

In September 2008, a study on social media was completed by The Cone Institute. It found:
184,000,000 Americans use social media.
93% of those Americans believe that companies should have a presence on those social mediums
85% believe that companies should not only be present, but should regularly interact with their customers on social media .

What this means for you…
Word of Mouth will always be the best form of advertising for your organization.
Friends will always take advice from friends…

But with Social Media, the definition of “Friends” has changed drastically

There are over 450 million users of Facebook, many of whom spend time over 2 hours per day on the site. It’s not just for kids anymore! The most rapidly growing demos on the most rapidly growing social network are adults 55+! Ad targeting opportunities are unparalleled! You can target by: age, town, interests, job title, company, and hundreds of other keyword categories. Facebook’s natural virality allows users to endorse your center with the click of a button to hundreds of their friends. Your BUSINESS!

The Top 40 Fan Pages on Facebook as voted by theKbuzz Introducing…
Criteria:
Brand Responsiveness
Interactivity
Creativity
Overall Design/Graphics
Fan Count**
** While we are in no way obsessed with fan numbers, it would be remiss of us to pretend that they don’t matter at all. That being said, we only take fan number counts into consideration in so much as they are proportionate to the reach of the business . In other words, we do not expect a small, local boutique to have anywhere near as many fans as a national brand – a few hundred fans for your neighborhood dentist is likely a great number! But we do expect well-known chains, franchises, and brand names alike to have an appropriately large fan base if they are included in our Top 40.

Use updates to ask questions and elicit response, not deliver press releases
Engage fans through creative content
Think of your page in terms of being for your fans, not being for your brand
Hypertarget with Social Ads and with Updates
Give fans reasons to post content on your profile page
Worry less about developing a custom good application, and worry more about creating good conversation
Monitor conversation

Respond even more diligently to the negative
