We know social media has surpassed all forms of media in terms of readership, thanks to Millennials — who grew up as the internet was being introduced; Gen Z — who were handed the digital world on a platter and Gen X and Baby Boomers — who had to follow suit because it overtook the work space and well, transformed the way we look at entertainment and shopping.
According to a 2017 survey conducted by Clutch, “The most valuable social media platforms for businesses are Facebook (89 percent), LinkedIn (83 percent), YouTube (81 percent), and Twitter (80 percent).” Another report found, Instagram with 32 percent comes second to Facebook at 79 percent of American internet users on the site; Pinterest comes in a close third with 31 percent, and LinkedIn and Twitter at 29 percent and 24 percent, respectively. On any given day, Snapchat reaches 41 percent of 18 to 34-year-olds in the US.
