Each year for the past seven years Social Media Examiner has released its Social Media Marketing Industry Report. The report provides valuable insights into emerging trends in social media marketing. This week, we will explore three of those key trends and how they might be leveraged for your healthcare marketing.

Key Trend #1 Facebook Dominates

 

Thirty-five percent of marketers have no idea whether their Facebook efforts are effective.

 

Social Media Examiner is not the only report to reveal the dominance of Facebook – the most recent Pew Internet Social Media Update found that 71% of all internet users are on Facebook.

Tip: Just because Facebook dominates social platforms, this does not mean you should be on it. It’s important to establish if your audience are in fact there, before putting all your efforts into Facebook marketing.

It’s interesting to note that despite the dominance of Facebook, most marketers report that they don’t know whether their Facebook outreach is actually working.

It is encouraging to see the key benefits of social media realized in this report.
