Social networks for business, why are they important?
Social networks have revolutionised the day-to-day life of the world’s population, gaining practically all their attention. According to IAB Spain, 85% of people who use the Internet, aged 16-70, have social networks.
We now find out about news, or see products and promotions on a screen rather than physically. It is a constant and instantaneous source of communication between people and businesses of all kinds. Given this popularity, companies have been able to identify this as a new business opportunity and struggle to have an online presence and position themselves.
