15 SMARTPHONES e SOCIAL MEDIA The most-used app across nearly all smartphone operating systems also falls into the social networking category. The top social Website, Facebook, is entrenched as the most widely used app by owners of BlackBerrys, iphones and other smartphones like Windows Mobile. Only users of Google s Android operating system are more likely to use Google Maps than Facebook.

16 With Social Media, consumer is boss, which is fascinatingly frightening, scary and terryfying because everything we used to do, everything we used to know, will no longer work Saatchi& Saatchi The 2010 Outlook, stressed that Facebook, with its now 600 million users, has become the premier destination for marketers in the US and many worldwide markets.

17 While consumers avoid TV ads, don t click on display ads, avoid banners and close pop-up ads, they follow personal recommendations from family, friends and peers. E-Marketer 2010 PERMISSION IS THE KEY TO OPEN THE MIND OF THE CONSUMER!

18 THERE S NOTHING NEW ABOUT THE POWER OF INSPIRATION EXCEPT THE CHANNEL Inspiring your customers to share their stories is nothing new or unique to social media. In fact, this idea has always been a key component of wordof-mouth marketing. Social media just allows those stories to spread faster and further than ever before.

19 Word-of-Mouth Word-of-Mouse

20 While businesses now have access to these rich channels, the true promise of social media lies in the direct connections between people who represent companies, brands, associations or causes and the people who define markets of interest. It s a simple investment in either visibility or presence. In social media, just like in the real world, presence is felt.
