Social Media Update 2014 | Pew Research Center | e-commerce & social media | Scoop.it

In a new survey conducted in September 2014, the Pew Research Center finds that Facebook remains by far the most popular social media site. While its growth has slowed, the level of user engagement with the platform has increased.


Other platforms like Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest and LinkedIn saw significant increases over the past year in the proportion of online adults who now use their sites....

Report: Facebook Dominates Social Sharing Of Major Events, But Twitter & Reddit React Quicker

Report: Facebook Dominates Social Sharing Of Major Events, But Twitter & Reddit React Quicker | e-commerce & social media | Scoop.it

Facebook is for ice bucket challenges. Twitter is for Ferguson, Mo. That’s been the conventional wisdom in the past few months; that conversation about breaking news is happening mostly on Twitter, while people are using Facebook to share less timely — some would say less newsworthy — topics.

The evidence for this conclusion has been anecdotal, which is almost always the case when you are comparing results produced by Facebook’s opaque News Feed algorithm to anything. So any time there’s a chance to dig into data that sheds light on public social sharing activity, it’s wise to seize it.


The quarterly report of consumer sharing behavior published this week by social data and sharing tool provider ShareThis offers such an opportunity. And while the data, drawn from the 450 million unique users and 2.5 million sites and apps in the ShareThis network, doesn’t directly address the ice-bucket-vs.-Ferguson question, it does provide some interesting marketing takeaways....

Study of 2.6 Billion Shares Reveals Which Platforms and Publishers Dominate Social | e-commerce & social media | Scoop.it

The number of shares an article receives has become ubiquitous in online content; widgets that show shares, tweets, pins, and +1s appear front and center on nearly every post you read (or, in this case, just to the left of this paragraph).


Just how many times does content get shared? Where do people prefer to share it? And are some publishers more effective than others at generating highly shared content? These questions are crucial to content marketers looking to understand the key components of a viral marketing success, and our recent research collaboration with BuzzSumo is here to give you some answers....

Why Your Business Needs A Social Media Presence - Two infographics - WordPress Hosting SEO Cloud | e-commerce & social media | Scoop.it

Why Your Business Needs A Business Social Media Presence. Online consumers are more likely to buy things from brands they know or have followed through social media for some time.


An infographic published by Mr. Youth, a word of mouth marketing firm, polled 4500 adults to uncover the impact of social media on purchases. They discovered that social media not only influences brand reputation and PR, but often can lead directly to a sale.


Over 90% of respondents either received or made recommendations to friends and families on Facebook. 65% of these social recommendations directly led to a purchase. On top of that, 80% of those who received a response to a social media post by a brand made a purchase as a result of that interaction.


With numbers as striking you’d think businesses would be quick to comprehend. Yet according to the study, brands only respond to half of their social media posts, divided almost equally between Facebook and Twitter. The full report will be available in two weeks....

#SocialMedia marketing is the lifeline for brands looking to target the online audience for anything from product promos, launch campaigns & many more parallels by leveraging objective, reach & impact. The key is in the analysis to determine the campaign ROI and keeping these dynamics in mind, a business website is the digital connection that businesses must incorporate to nullify reservations about a product purchase by referring to online reviews, product demos, customer experiences and so on.

 

Work of Mouth marketing is still one of the most influential catalyst that incites intent to check out a new product or brand based on references. A business website is the connection required to establish  a working relationship between the buyer & the seller. By integrating #social sharing icons & buttons, the process to recommend services to friends & family becomes much easier and simpler to complete. This irrevocably creates the influence of digital marketing & social media marketing for brands with instant real time reach & interaction with buyers & random online visitors across the fabric of the web.

We have done some research in the form of an infographic, which reveals some fascinating insights into the psychology of the online consumer.  


A massive 85% of people said they read online reviews before making a purchase and 1/3 of shoppers admitted buying an item after being influenced by a video. The research also looks into why we abandon sales at the checkout, which is predominantly down to hidden charges and having to register before buying.

The quantum of information that is being exchanged on the internet is absolutely mind-boggling! I wonder how much information the individual human mind can process. Soon, even the human mind will have to concede defeat with respect to its ability to process all this information. Does it mark the end of one era and the start of another?

So what does this mean for an affiliate marketer?  Do you realize just how much potential for exposure this represents?  Look at all the events transpiring in 'a moment's time'.....awesome, isn't it?

 

This is also an excellent example showing how very important it is to build a targeted list for your particular niche of choice (or several areas if you are so inclined).  Each area must be treated as a unique entity to allow proper attention.

Are You Making These Common Social Media Measurement Mistakes? | VOZIQ | Actionable Social Media Analytics | e-commerce & social media | Scoop.it

As social networks have exploded in their use as a critical marketing and PR channel for businesses of all size, so have increased the importance of measuring all this effort more effectively. Apart from apprising you of the success of your strategies, measurement also gives you very critical insights about your customers and competitors. As you go on investing in social media channels, it is these actionable insights, which give you a return on your dollar.


However, the measurement of social media is not as standardized as it should be. This is mainly because of the evolving nature of social networks itself. This non-standardization also means that you will be flooded with advice and opinions about how to measure social media. This leads to some critical mistakes, which can jeopardize accuracy of your results. This in turn will lead to dismissal of social media as an effective channel in business strategy! But we all know importance of social media as well as measurement, so let us see the most common mistakes which are committed while measuring social media....
