AIMIA AND SENSIS SOCIAL MEDIA REPORT
AIMIA AND SENSIS RELEASE SOCIAL MEDIA REPORT - WHAT AUSTRALIAN PEOPLE AND BUSINESSES ARE DOING WITH SOCIAL MEDIA
25 May 2011 | Sydney
In only a few short years, the rise of social media has created a fundamental shift in consumer behaviour. Today, 62% of Australian internet users use a variety of social media platforms, with many visiting every day and most at least a few times a week.
Clearly, social networking meets a core human need for contact, community and comment.
For the consumer, social media is the total package – communications, applications, community, entertainment, shopping and advertising all rolled in to one. And for many, it’s easy to use.
Yet most small to medium sized businesses, and half of Australia’s large businesses surveyed don’t have a social media presence.
Australian businesses need to be alive to the opportunities and challenges of engaging with consumers and customers in this very different environment. Businesses should also be monitoring, responding and looking at proactive strategies to manage the way their business is presented and reviewed online.
AIMIA is delighted to partner with Sensis in the development and distribution of the Sensis Social Media Report. As well as providing further insight into the rapid changes in consumer behaviour being wrought by social media platforms, this report gives Australian businesses, small, medium and large, a range of compelling reasons for joining the social media revolution.
