Welcome to twenty-thirteen! The Spicy team is all rested and ready to whip some butt and work on some exciting, kickass projects!
The start of a year is a great time to take a fresh new look on your business and a perfect opportunity to invest time into developing your social media strategy.
Social Media refers to a group of emerging online tools that enable individuals to interact, communicate and connect with other individuals and businesses.
Social Media is good for your business because:
- it is driven by user-generated-content and therefore highly engaging for users
- it emphasizes community and connecting with people individually on a large scale
- it enables businesses to interact directly, personally and promptly with their customers and prospective customers.
The popularity of social media amongst Australian consumers is an undisputed fact with a sizable majority of us actively engaging with social media on a regular basis.
However, there still remains a sizeable gap between the social media strategies of Australian businesses and the corresponding behaviour of a large number of their customers with only 27% of small businesses and 34% of medium-sized businesses having a social media presence.
