, the most widely used platform for managing social media, commissioned an online study by Harris Poll that found half of Americans (48 percent) have interacted with companies or organizations on at least one of their social media networks.
"This research underscores the pervasiveness of social media and the massive opportunities available for organizations that use social to engage with their customers," said Penny Wilson, chief marketing officer at Hootsuite. "Today social plays a key role in determining and influencing customers'' attitudes, motivations and behaviors. Now, more than ever, there''s an opportunity to tap into social and connect with customers when, where and how they want, helping to maximize sales."
Key Findings
The recent survey indicates that companies and organizations who do not invest in social media may risk losing touch with customers and being outpaced by competitors.
Four out of every five Americans have a social media account.
In the U.K., roughly 3 of every 4 adults have a social media account.
Based on the research, it is clear that understanding the role of social media in determining and influencing consumers'' attitudes, motivations and behaviors is more important than ever.
"Marketers should align communication strategies to target customers at the right time, in the right place and with the right message," said Wilson.
