Burnley, Lancashire -- (SBWIRE) -- 07/24/2015 -- A recent study published in the Journal of Promotion Management reveals that 82% of the world's most admired companies had a Twitter account whilst 72% were on YouTube. The investigators involved remarked that the result indicated that global brands are potentially using social media to maintain their status and attract important business attention, as well as connecting with customers.
This news also has repercussions for small and medium sized enterprises. If the largest and most admired companies have invested in their social media presence to such a degree, it shows that this is a platform that they are not taking lightly despite their firm grounding in the world and their respective industry. And if the 'big' companies don't think it's something to turn a blind eye to, it means that there is an importance that small and medium sized businesses up their game. The diversity and popularity of social media sites offer potential for every business, whether on a global or local level. A key medium for opportunity could be Facebook, because the study found that out of the 417 companies involved, only 51% had a Facebook page. This could be an opportunity and a space for potentially smaller businesses to expand in the absence of competition.
