According to the Facebook’s most recently released statistics, there are approximately 1.55 billion monthly active users on Facebook with the average user spending 20+ minutes a day on the site, which accounts for nearly 20% of their total Internet time. If you think that’s a lot, check out the average American. In his presentation of Facebook, Inc.’s quarterly progress, CEO Mark Zuckerburg announced that the average American user spends 40 minutes a day on Facebook. If you do the math, you’ll find that number adds up to 10 days, 3 hours, 7 minutes, and 20 seconds annually. It’s no wonder Facebook is considered the world’s most popular networking site.

Take a look around and you’ll see that we are in the midst of a technological boom that is sweeping the nation. It’s no surprise that the old marketing methods (like commercials and newspaper advertising) we have grown so accustomed to are being buried by digital marketing techniques. In fact, statistics show that traditional marketing (also known as outbound marketing) is starting to lose its overall effectiveness. Inbound marketing, on the other hand, is growing in popularity among health care professionals because it embraces the new ways in which people seek medical treatment.

Welcome to the world of inbound marketing! Chances are you’ve realized that the traditional methods of marketing aren’t working quite as well as they used to. If you’re wondering why, think about why you don’t recommend radiated water, leeches, or bloodletting (yikes!) as treatment options for your ailing patients. As times change, medicine changes, and people and their preferences change as well. The technological advancements that have been made over the past few years have caused these changes to happen more quickly, making “keeping up with the times” difficult, yet an absolute must for all practices who strive to stay cutting edge.

The average American spends 37 minutes per day on Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, and other social media sites, making social networking the number one online activity in the United States. With 46% of these web users browsing with the intent to purchase, many businesses are taking advantage of this popular pastime to increase brand awareness, connect with their customers, and reach their target audience better. In fact, eight out of 10 small and medium businesses (SMB) use social media as a tool to grow their companies and 60% say that they’ve acquired new customers through social media activity (MarketingTechBlog).

As I mentioned on the blog before, digital marketing and social media classes are one of the three ways we help businesses at Baker Labs (the other two are Contracting and Coaching). Classes normally have a few students, and in the three hours of class we cover the basics of social media and digital marketing. Students leave with actionable help on getting started, or taking their next digital steps, and I always learn about an interesting business!
