What's In This Session?

7 out of every 10 Americans adults is active on Facebook (Pew Research) (1:06)
Millennials and Gen X spend ~7 hours on social each week (Nielsen) (1:12)
The second largest demographic on Facebook is people ages 55+ (Statista) (1:23)
Boomers spend about ~4 hours on social each week overall (Nielsen) (1:29)
Compare social media to traditional media for a moment. Now, these costs will vary per region, but on average an outreach tool like a billboard will cost about ~$3,000/month. Circulating radio ads will set you back about ~$5,000/month. And if you want to do regional television and run a single thirty second ad just once a day you're looking at north of ~$7,500/month (2:10)
This is what makes social media so amazing. Not only is the barrier to entry zero - but even spending just couple hundred bucks a month on your social efforts can actually outpace anything you could do with traditional media that costs 10X-20X more money. (4:24)
