In a nutshell, we hope that these statistics help you understand that social media is an extremely important platform for businesses to engage potential customers. The problem we see is that many businesses had no idea how to do it effectively. It is not only about the number of likes on your Facebook page, not everyone of us can be like Lady Gaga on Twitter, having 28 million followers. But instead, it should be focused more on QUALITY, that can bring you more sales! People who focus on buying likes or followers are just opening the door to an empty numbers game as it wont produce sales!
