Having a Web presence for your business is more important than ever! A business, who promotes using social media, gains an edge that makes it easier to reach new customers. It allows them to connect  and establish relationships with people they might not otherwise reach.

Social media has gone far beyond connecting us with family and friends, and it is capable of building and strengthening communities.

According to Forbes the benefits of sustaining a long term social media campaign are great, but if you are still apprehensive, consider these points:

"Your competitors are already involved on social media, which means your potential social media traffic and conversions are being poached. Don’t let your competitors reap all the benefits while you stand idly by. If, somehow, your competition is not involved on social media, there’s even more of a reason to get started—the field is open."

Nearly two-thirds of American adults (65%) use social networking sites, up from 7% when Pew Research Center began systematically tracking social media usage in 2005.

The average person spends 28 percent of his or her time online on social networks--or 1.72 hours per day.

RESEARCH CENTER

Did you know that there are 3.5 billion Google searches every day, 226 million people in North America login into Facebook each month, and that there are an average of 7,294 Tweets every second?
