It is indeed the largest shift mankind has seen, with social media website such as Facebook growing from nothing into a 500 million user-base in around 6 years since its start! That’s mind-blowing! The following video airs very interesting statistics about social media marketing I think would be relevant.

Have you seen this little button around?

Google +

Lately, Google has brought upon something new which has caught on to the social media tide as well, called Google Plus or if you have seen it around , it appears as “Google +“.

Basically, Google has created a new social platform which seamlessly blends with its search function, where the likelihood of your page contents appearing on the search results are increased! Google has summarised its new innovation below in several pictures:

This innovation is disposable to every company’s social marketeers out there! The possibilities of reaching out to customers unlike before are limitless.

How well is Google+ working for brands you follow? Have you seen the brands you were looking for appearing on search results via a Google+ page? Do share with us the brands you follow and how effective it has been to you!

P.S. Here’s an example of Toyota’s Google+ page which I’ve found while looking for hybrid cars!
