The Scope of Social Media
It seems as though everyone is on Facebook these days and those that aren’t recognize that they are missing out on something amazing and eventually give in and join. This is not just limited to individuals – businesses, bands, products and brands are rapidly setting up pages on Facebook, recognizing that there is astronomical potential to extend their exposure across this massive platform to a world-wide audience.
As of today, April 19 2010, the top 5 countries in terms of Facebook users are the United States, the United Kingdom, Turkey and France and Canada (tied), with 95 million, 22 million, 14 million and 13 million users, respectively (according to checkfacebook.com). That’s a huge number of users, right?
If Facebook were a country, it would be the fourth most populated country in the world with over 400 million users. That means that only a fraction of the total number of Facebook users live in the top 5 countries most populated with Facebook users. The majority of these countries are developed, western countries. Think of all the users who live in other vastly populated nations, such as Brazil, Russia, India and China…
This means that there is astronomical potential to reach a vast audience in other parts of the world. Many of these Facebook users may not have similar products, brands or information widely available in their native countries.
Still need convincing? If Facebook continues to grow at its current rate, there will be 630 million Facebook users by the year 2011. How is your brand going to reach that enormous audience?
