The amount of people utilizing social media is astounding. According to the Inc 500, 91% of companies use at least one social media tool, compared with 77 percent of companies surveyed in 2008. In addition, 86% of companies plan to spend more on social media in 2010, and a further 13% are planning to keep the same level of budget, based on a report by Marketing Charts.
We’d like to share our social media success story thus far.
After utilizing social media sparingly for 6 months, we’ve already seen admirable results on Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook, and YouTube. We now have over 1,700 followers on Twitter, 3,200 video views on YouTube, and 230 fans on Facebook. Our social media efforts have increased brand awareness, lead generation, and conversions. And a lot of that success has come as a result of our blogs.
Both the FreedomIQ Hosted VoIP Blog and the FreedomVoice Toll Free Number Blog are growing in popularity each day. The blogs currently have hundreds of visitors each month, and we expect that to be in the thousands before long.
We know that fans do not come easy, and we’re very thankful to everyone who interacts with us through social media. It’s been a lot of fun creating content we are passionate about, and we look forward to making lots more in 2010.
