Social Media Revolution - Fad or Here to stay?
Loading...
Uploaded by MrZeroLimits on Nov 17, 2010
Social media will enable you to reach more people interested in your products and services faster and more effectively without the huge marketing budget that traditional media requires. Social media gives you the chance to reach out, talk with your customers, give them a reason to talk about you and happily share their recommendation with their friends or better, your community. As pointed out in the video, consumers will "no longer search for products and services, they will find us via social media".
FACTS
◦By 2010 Gen Y will outnumber Baby Boomers
◦1 out of 8 couples married in the U.S. last year have met via social media
◦If Facebook were a country, it would be the world's 4th largest
◦YouTube is the 2nd largest search engine in the world
Specifically there are some interesting educational stats that are included.
◦2009 U.S. Department of Education study revealed that on average, online students outperformed those receiving face-to-face instruction
◦1 in 6 higher education students are enrolled in online curriculum
◦80% of companies are using LinkedIn as their primary tool to find employees
◦In 2009, Boston College stopped distributing e-mail addresses to incoming freshmen
With all of these online students, what kind of problems does that pose for a traditional school and dorms? It was a while back that Michael Fienen wrote about how online education is changing. If the data above is fully accurate then colleges and universities have a lot to worry about unless they are willing to adapt. With LinkedIn beginning to hold such an important function in the hiring process this puts a lot of pressure on Career Services to fully take advantage of this platform or risk becoming irrelevant.
The video states it best:
Social Media isn't a fad, it's a fundamental shift in the way we communicate.
