Once that understanding is clear, social media platforms offer tons of insight and features that serve the purpose of marketing a little too well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are interested in making full use of social media this year, you need to know about a few popular statistics that can help you achieve your marketing goals. In light of such demand, we have put together the top <a href=\"https:\/\/dev.saasworthy.com\/blogsocial-media-statistics\">social media statistics<\/a> for 2021 for you to adapt to. If you are ready, let us begin right away!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"facebook-in-the-lead\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Facebook_in_the_Lead\"><\/span>Facebook in the Lead<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/mk0hootsuiteblof6bud.kinstacdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/facebook-statistics-4.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"706\" height=\"412\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>To think of it, it is perhaps with Facebook that the rage for social media exploded and paved a path for what it is today. Therefore, it should not be a surprise factor when we tell you that Facebook is the one platform leading the market, with a massive crowd of 2.32 billion users active monthly. That means <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pewresearch.org\/internet\/2018\/03\/01\/social-media-use-in-2018\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">almost two-thirds or 68\\% of US adults <\/a>are Facebook users, as per Pewinternet (2018). It is expected as Facebook was the first-ever social media platform to cross the 1 billion user milestone in 2012.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With information like this, you can prepare and plan your social media marketing strategies to best suit your needs. Another thing to keep in mind is to learn about the algorithms that social media platforms follow. That way, you will know how they operate and create content accordingly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"number-of-social-media-users\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Number_of_Social_Media_Users\"><\/span>Number of Social Media Users<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.oberlo.com\/media\/1609949423-how-many-people-use-social-media.png?fit=max&amp;fm=jpg&amp;w=1800\" alt=\"\" width=\"704\" height=\"359\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>To effectively use social media platforms as a marketing strategy, it is important to understand the extent of their reach. As of 2021, there are as many as 3.78 billion people who are social media users. However, that is not the end, as the number is steadily growing, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.statista.com\/statistics\/237584\/distribution-of-the-world-population-by-continent\/\">according to Statista (2020)<\/a>. In case you are wondering, that is almost equal to 48\\% of the world population.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now you understand the extent of reach that social media platforms have. With proper usage, they prove to be powerful business tools. However, to make the best use of it, you need to know your way around social media, its algorithms, reach, and so on to make the best out of them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"time-spent-on-social-media\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Time_spent_on_Social_Media\"><\/span>Time spent on Social Media<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.broadbandsearch.net\/2021\/2\/1614088871721-3._Percentage_of_People_Using_Social_Media_on_a_Daily_Basis.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Social media platforms are not just good business tools. They are also a good and consistent provider of content for people to tune into. Social media platforms are a good part of the reason why television and satellite broadcasting are going obsolete. They are becoming a prominent part of our lives, and we would be lying to ourselves if we deny that. With that, you may have come to understand how much time an average user spends on social media platforms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Looking at the reports by <a href=\"https:\/\/datareportal.com\/reports\/digital-2021-global-overview-report\">DataReportal (2021), <\/a>we see that a normal user spends almost an average of 2 hours and 35 minutes on social media platforms per day.&nbsp; This opens up great opportunities for businesses to garner the attention of their target audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"generation-wise-usage-distribution\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Generation-wise_Usage_Distribution\"><\/span>Generation-wise Usage Distribution<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/mk0hootsuiteblof6bud.kinstacdn.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Screen-Shot-2021-01-26-at-4.09.30-PM.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"703\" height=\"436\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Now that we have taken a look at the time spent on social media by an average user let us take a look at the generation-wise distribution. As per the research by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pewresearch.org\/internet\/2021\/04\/07\/social-media-use-in-2021\/\">Pew Research Center (2021),<\/a> as many as 84\\% of US adults from the age of 18 &#8211; 29 use social media platforms actively. For adults aged 30 &#8211; 49, the percentage stands at 81\\%. 73\\% of adults ranging from ages 50 &#8211; 64 are the rest of the active users. The least percentage of usage is for the age group of 65 years and above.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Understandably, the young adult category is leading in the numbers when it comes to using social media. The preferred devices for this category are smartphones. For the older generation, the device would be tablets. This valuable information of generation-wise usage distribution and preferred devices can help you streamline your target audience and create marketing strategies accordingly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"the-role-of-influencers\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_role_of_Influencers\"><\/span>The role of Influencers<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/influencermarketinghub.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/4-1-1024x536.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"706\" height=\"369\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Along with the rise of social media came the peak of a new profession called online influencers. These social media users have large followings and impressions that can help the brand reach out to a larger audience. Therefore, this has given rise to a new form of marketing called influencer marketing. Due to their large followings, these influencers have a good impact on consumers. Fourcommunications (2018) reported that 49\\% of customers have claimed to trust influencer recommendations and actively consider that before purchasing any related products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Therefore, social media influencers have grown to be another vital marketing strategy that brands and companies are using, with good results. With that, influencers help make a strong and positive brand image for the companies while reaching out to a large number of audiences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"active-usage-by-customers\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Active_Usage_by_Customers\"><\/span>Active Usage by Customers<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.oberlo.com\/media\/1620279999-social-media-statistics-stat-1.png?w=1824&amp;fit=max\" alt=\"\" width=\"705\" height=\"447\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>As time passes, more and more people are joining social media, which means that it garners more and more buyers. As per GlobalWebIndex (2018), a good 54\\% of social browsers are being used by social media to investigate products and other relevant information. More people are turning to social media for reviews, recommendations, and suggestions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This pushes the need for a good online presence on all major social media. Good research will reveal the social media that is preferred the most by your target audience. Your work lies in discovering those media platforms and utilizing them to the max.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"using-instagram-stories\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Using_Instagram_Stories\"><\/span>Using Instagram Stories<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/coolerinsights.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/Instagram-User-Statistics.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"594\" height=\"573\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Ever since Instagram introduced stories, it has been an explosion. A day-long post that disappears after 24 hours is the perfect way for sharing quick news and updates without having to create a permanent post about it. It is a popular feature that over 500 million users use (as of January 2019). The number has rapidly risen from 150 million in January 2017, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.statista.com\/statistics\/251666\/number-of-digital-buyers-worldwide\/\">as reported by Statista (2019).<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Instagram story is a useful feature that has engaging features such as polls, questions, stickers, music, tag options, and many more. In fact, with Instagram stories, you can get unique and creative to get more interactions and engagements. It is perfect for campaigns, sales, and quick updates.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"customers-and-positive-experience\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Customers_and_Positive_Experience\"><\/span>Customers and Positive Experience<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/media.sproutsocial.com\/uploads\/2020\/12\/unfollow-brand.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"467\" height=\"443\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Providing top-class customer care services is a must for businesses. Utilizing social media can be a big help on that front. The main component here would be to keep in touch with your clients continuously, and with the use of social media, that becomes a breeze. Quick replies, responding to comments, reverting on mentions are a few ways to do it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lyfemarketing.com\/blog\/social-media-marketing-statistics\/\">Lyfemarketing (2018)<\/a>, 71\\% of customers with good customer care experience have chances of referring the brand, product, or services to their family and friends.

Therefore, it is easy to understand why mobiles and smartphones have become the main device through which users access social media platforms. At least 91\\% of users do so, and 80\\% of the total amount of time spent surfing on social media is via mobile devices, as reported by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lyfemarketing.com\/blog\/social-media-marketing-statistics\/\">Lyfemarketing (2018)<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For businesses utilizing social media as a marketing tool, this is a very important piece of information. Therefore, keeping this in mind, businesses should make sure that their content, posts, layouts, and other such things have mobile-friendly interfaces. So, if you want people to recognize you and remember you daily, you need to keep smartphones into consideration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"marketing-on-social-media\" class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Marketing_on_Social_Media\"><\/span>Marketing on Social Media<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.smallbizgenius.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/chart-3.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"659\" height=\"407\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>We have stressed a lot about how social media is a perfect marketing tool.
