SMARTPHONES e SOCIAL MEDIA “The most-used app across nearly all smartphone operating systems also falls into the social networking category. The top social Website, Facebook, is entrenched as the most widely used app by owners of BlackBerrys, iPhones and other smartphones like Windows Mobile. Only users of Google’s Android operating system are more likely to use Google Maps than Facebook”.

5. Social Media
THERE’S NOTHING NEW ABOUT THE POWER OF INSPIRATION EXCEPT THE CHANNEL Inspiring your customers to share their stories is nothing new or unique to social media. In fact, this idea has always been a key component of wordof-mouth marketing. Social media just allows those stories to spread faster and further than ever before.

While businesses now have access to these rich channels, the true promise of social media lies in the direct connections between people who represent companies, brands, associations or causes and the people who define markets of interest. It’s a simple investment in either visibility or presence. In social media, just like in the real world, presence is felt.
