I'm ok with freebies

Wow. I was tweeted this great white paper @Mequoda written by Michael A. Stelzner, and had to share what I learned. It’s FREE, and there much more to this than what I have covered below. As I am currently developing a social media strategy (I know, strategies are bad) I will take all the free knowledge I can get. I even delayed eating my lunch so I could read the whole thing:

My personal takeaways:

· Twitter, blogs, LinkedIn and Facebook were the top four social media tools used by marketers, in that order.

· Twitter is used by 94% of marketers who have been using social media for years, followed closely by blogs.

· 81% of all marketers named the number 1 advantage of social media marketing is generating exposure for the business

· People aged 30 to 39 are most likely to be using social media marketing

· Nearly all marketers spending 6+ hours a week on social media marketing found exceptionally positive results.

· Overall marketing costs dropped when social media marketing was implemented.
