Amazing Facebook Stats- All the More Reasons to be on Facebook
Just came across a blog post by Jeff Bullas listing 50 Fascinating Facebook Facts & Figures. Of the 50, there are 7 that should convince your small business to start up that Facebook Fan Page you've been meaning to create...
1 in every 13 people on Earth is on Facebook
35+ demographic represents more than 30% of the entire user base: If you were under the impression that only youngsters use Facebook, this should sway your opinion.
48% of 18 to 34 year olds check Facebook right when they wake up: If this is your key demographic, make sure to do your Facebook Fan Page posts early in the morning.
Average user is connected to 80 community pages, groups and events: Fan Pages fall under community pages. Also, if your business hosts events regularly, make sure to create Facebook Event pages, too. This will encourage the viral spread of your events.
More than 2.5 million websites have integrated with Facebook, including over 80 of comScore’s U.S. Top 100 websites and over half of comScore’s Global Top 100 websites: This includes adding the simple "Like" button to your site, or even allowing users to log in with their Facebook login.
There are more than 250 million active users currently accessing Facebook through their mobile devices: No doubt, a sizable portion of this are people checking-in at restaurants, nail salons etc. on Facebook. If you are a brick-and-mortar business, claim your Place page and offer users who check-in a special deal.
There are over 16,000,000 Facebook fan pages: A simple jump-on-the-bandwagon fact to conclude this post :)
