Social Media Retail Clients Expect More

Listen to the audio version

Last week I told you about this Survey Kyle Parrotta conducted for a research paper he is working on.

He shared his results with me and we discovered an interesting trend. It’s not really surprising that more and more retail customers use Social Media tools like Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn. What surprises me is the fact that more people expect product information on Social Media than contests.

Are you giving your Customers enough information?

It's not surprising that promotions (free samples, coupons, etc) are a prime driving force to what people are expecting. I am also not surprised that Facebook is the number one social media source, either. It's good to have that confirmed though.

Very true Alicia! I was surprised though that so many expected more than just free stuff. Product information and endorsements ranked fairly high
