Adult Internet Users Embrace Social Media
Raleigh N.C. Social Media by Adults According to anew study, 65 percent of American adult Internet users have interacted on a social media site like Facebook, Google+, or LinkedIn, supporting the often cited importance of social media marketing. Thesocial networking reportfrom the Pew Internet&American Life Project has been asking adult Internet users in the United States about social media site visits since 2005 when just 8 percent of Internet users 18-years-old or older had visited one of the sites, compared with 65 percent just six years later. What's more, for the first time, more than half of all American adults — Internet user or not — has visited a site like Facebook, LinkedIn, or Google+. Social media usage has grown significantly since 2005. Pew reports that some 43 percent of adults say they visit a social media site on a typical day — compared to 65 percent that haveevervisited a social media site. Only email and search queries are more common among American web users. More Women than Men Pew also reported that woman tend to be more likely to engage regularly on a social media site than do their male counterparts. In fact, 69 percent of female, adult Internet users socialize — versus about 60 percent of men. On a typical day, 48 percent of female Internet users log on to a social media site. The same can be said about 38 percent of male Internet users, according to Pew. The number of social-site visitors grows with a younger demographic, Pew said. A full 89 percent of female Internet users aged 18-to-29 haveevervisited a social networking site. Some 69 percent socialize online daily. Roughly 83 percent of 18-to-29 year olds, regardless of gender, have used a social networking site, making social networking popular with nearly everyone in the age group. Positive Feelings About Social Pew Internet also reported that survey respondents generally had positive feelings about the social networking sites they used. "When social networking users were asked for one word to describe their experiences using social networking sites, 'good' was the most common response," wrote Pew Internet Senior Research Specialist Mary Madden and Research Specialist Kathryn Zickuhr in their August 2011 report. "Overall, positive responses far outweighed the negative and neutral words that were associated with social networking sites (more than half of the respondents used positive terms). Users repeatedly described their experiences as 'fun,' 'great,' 'interesting' and 'convenient.' Less common were superlatives such as 'astounding,' 'necessity,' and 'empowering.' Many users have good feelings about social media, as shown in this related word cloud from Pew. Social Media Marketing Survey data like what is found in this Pew Internet report tends to reinforce what marketers are experiencing. Social media is where many, if not most, Internet users — especially younger ones — can be found on a given day. Social media should typically receive a significant portion of a marketer's attention.

Raleigh Use People’s SmartPhones to get more customers
Raleigh Business Text Marketing Mobile MarketingMake Your Smartphone More Business-Friendly Use People’s SmartPhones to get more customers Do you reach for your smartphone as soon as you wake up in the morning? Is leaving your smartphone at home worse than forgetting your wallet? If you answered “yes” to either of these questions, you may be addicted to your smartphone—and you’re not alone. Things move fast in today’s world. Missing an important call or email could mean missing out on business. That makes staying connected more important than ever. It’s no wonder more and more business people are turning to smartphones to make sure they’re available for their clients both by phone and email. In a recent survey, nearly half the respondents said they use their smartphone the most to conduct business. Not too surprising, since smartphone usage has grown significantly in the last year. Sixty-four percent also said they use their smartphone more for business now than they did a year ago. When asked what’s the first thing they do in the morning before getting out of bed, 49% of people surveyed said they reach for—you guessed it—their smartphone. When it comes to forgetting a wallet or smartphone, a whopping 56% thought it was worse to be without their smartphone than their money or ID. Clearly, smartphones are playing an increasing role in the business world. Based on results from the same survey, tablets are also growing in popularity—62% said they use their tablet multiple times a day for business. Thanks to the latest gadgets and innovations in cloud technology, it’s easier than ever to not only keep in touch from anywhere in the world, but still maintain a professional image. The advantage of setting up a cloud-based phone system is that it doesn’t require bulky, expensive equipment, yet it seamlessly integrates your network of phones so you can conduct business anywhere, from your local coffee shop to a café overseas. One of the downfalls of a traditional, land-based communications system is the costly installation. With a cloud-based service, everything is done online, including set-up. You can have a phone and fax system up and running in just a few minutes—no technician necessary. In fact, all you need is an Internet connection and phone. Another advantage is the professional touch it can provide for your business. Whether you’re on a desk phone or smartphone, you can set up an auto-receptionist, voicemail, Internet fax, answering rules, and call forwarding. You’ll also be able to dial extensions within your company right from your smartphone. With so many useful features of smartphones, it’s no surprise that their role in business has increased dramatically. But just because you’re doing more business from your backyard, it doesn’t mean that your level of professionalism has to drop. Help maintain your image with a service that will do it for you.
