Having extremely talented friends in the film making business…I see how hard it is for them to get distribution into theaters unless they have raised millions to assist on the marketing and promotion side…

What is a GREAT Social media Success story is the recent use of Groupon to get an indie film into theaters!

Social Marketing Stats DOUBLE for Small Business

A picture says 1,000 words doesn't it?

Here is the latest stats from "The State of Small Business Report" and I found this great chart above from eMarketer.

As per eMarketer:

According to “The State of Small Business Report” from Network Solutions and the Center for Excellence in Service at the University of Maryland Robert H. Smith School of Business. Social media usage increased to 24%, from 12% the year before.

The most common usage of social media among small business was a company page on a social networking site, followed by posting status updates.

I thought this was a great statistic given the economy 'sour state' and yet….small businesses are selecting the wise choice:

Online marketing and increasing their social media marketing presence!

If you are a social media marketing consultant…these numbers show your efforts and choice of consulting practice to be very wise indeed!

What do you think?
