Social Stats That Tell You To Use These Platforms.........

We promised part 2 of this blog on Social Media Stats and here it is. This blog covers, YouTube, Instagram, Pinterest and Vine. We tell you how many people are using these platforms and should you be using them from a business point of view. We think these are four great Social Media platforms so let’s get more of a breakdown of them shall we:

YouTube:

Once the home for people posting random funny videos but now a massive player in the marketing world. Why does YouTube work so well for businesses? Because people love to see how things work and showing this visually gets the message across to consumers so much quicker than anything before.

It has over 1 billion unique visitors each month. That’s a huge amount of eyes that could be seeing what makes your business stand out from the rest.

Instagram:

We wrote an excellent blog on Instagram (even if we do so ourselves), Instagram is a Social Media platform which is easy to use, gives you great ability to build up a following and best of all show case your products and services.

Facebook purchased Instagram in 2012, when it had 13 million users. Facebook paid top dollar for Instagram and quite rightly so, as within less than 2 years the sites users has grown to 130 million.

16 billion photos have been shared on the site in total – that’s a lot of happy snappers. 

Pinterest:

Talking about great visual content brings us to Pinterest. No doubt you have heard of this Social Media platform, where you can create your own mood boards and pin images on them which you have found whilst being on the web.

It captured lots of people’s imagination and because of this grew quickly.

Pinterest currently has 70 million active users. 80% of these are women. So if your target market is females this a platform you should definitively be using. 

Vine:

One of the newest to feature on our list, launched in January 2013. Vine is a product of Twitter, and is a 6 second looping video social network. Allowing you to take and post quick videos. 

Twitter announced, appropriately with a tweet, that Vine has 40 million users. This kind of growth in less than a year is impressive to say the least. Twitter must be very happy with themselves and quite rightly so.

So is Vine worth using from a business point of view? We say yes! It’s easy to use, obviously easy to tweet and therefore easy to spread your message. A short video can tell an awful lot.
